Maximizing stem body size may reduce the risk of postoperative periprosthetic fractures

Aims: There is concern around an increased risk of postoperative periprosthetic fracture (POPPF) with cemented polished taper slip (PTS) femoral components. We hypothesized that femoral constructs resulting in increased load on the cement mantle would be associated with higher PO...

Non-medical surgical delay increases one-year mortality following hip fracture

Aims: This study aimed to assess the association between surgical delay due to non-medical reasons and one-year mortality in patients with hip fracture, and to explore whether a dose-response relationship exists between increasing time to surgery and mortality risk. Methods: A re...
