Periprosthetic Fractures of the Femur Treated by Osteosynthesis

Completed

• Conditions: Periprosthetic Fracture of the Femur

• Registration Number: NCT02854566
• Lead Sponsor: Brugmann University Hospital

Brief Summary

Observational retrospective study on 36 consecutive patients having had surgery for a periprosthetic fracture of the femur between 2010 and 2015.

The goal of the study is to test whether osteosynthesis was a secure choice at a certain age and with any type of Vancouver fracture.
