Excerpt
We read, with great interest, the article by Esper et al., published in the European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology. The authors performed a comparative study to assess whether cemented total hip arthroplasties (THA) or non-cemented hemiarthroplasties (HA) had lower periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF). The study showed that fewer post-operative PFFs occurred with cemented stems (1.63% vs. 6.30%,
p = 0.002) and along with that risk of use of cement was protective against intraoperative fracture (OR 0.100, CI 0.017–0.571,
p = 0.010), along with more intraoperative fractures occurred during THA (3.68% vs. 0.69%,
p = 0.004) and non-cemented procedures (5.51% vs. 0.49%,
p < 0.001 [
