Effect of periprosthetic greater trochanter fractures (Vancouver AG) on primary stability of the femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty: a biomechanical micromotion analysis

Abstract Purpose Primary stability is a crucial factor for the long-term success of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). Periprosthetic fractures represent an important cause of loss of primary implant stability. While Vancouver AG fractures rarely lead to stem loosening, the...
