Jennison T, et al. - Researchers performed an analysis of 1-year mortality of periprosthetic fractures around an implant used to treat an extracapsular hip fracture. In addition, they determined 30-day mortality, complications and risk factors associated with mortality. In this work, periprosthetic fractures sustained after the surgical treatment of extra capsular neck of femur fractures demonstrated higher mortality rates compared to hip fractures.
