Periprosthetic fracture can create significant morbidity in the arthroplasty population. Patients with periprosthetic fracture have been shown to have worse outcomes and higher mortality than patients undergoing elective revision THA. In this review, we will focus on Vancouver B2 and B3 fractures. Both of these fracture types are associated with a loose primary prosthesis and warrant revision surgery. There are many different options for fixation choice of the femoral prosthesis, and preference has been evolving over the last 30 years. Currently, we use monoblock, tapered, fluted, titanium stems for all periprosthetic fracture revision surgeries.
