Background: Between 1991 and 2008, approximately 80 cases of fracture (neck or stem) have been reported. This study aimed at determining factors predisposing to implant fracture.Methods: Clinical, surgical, radiological, and retrieval data were collated. Risk factors associated with fracture were categorized to patient related (weight and activity levels), surgical related (poor medial support, component size, and placement), and anatomic/implant related (head size/offset).Results: Datawas available on 60 patients (32 stem and 28 neck fractures). Meanpatient age at fracture was similar for both neck and stem fractures (69 years, 67 years, respectively). Also, 77% neck and 52% stem fractures occurred in men. Mean weight was 107 kg in neck and 96.5 kg in stem fractures with 68% neck and 38% stem fractures either obese or morbidly obese. Mean time to fracture was 78 months (range, 36-144months) for neck and 76 months (range, 2-155 months) for stem fractures. 44#2 and 44#3 were the most common sizes associated with neck fractures. Stem fractures occurred more commonly (84%) in the smaller sizes (35.5 to 44#1). Elongated femoral heads were used in 69% neck and 14% stem fractures.Conclusion: Neck fractures were most commonly associated with patient-related (increased weight and activity) and implant-related (use of an elongated femoral head) factors. Stem fractures were most commonly associated with correctable surgical-related causes, predominantly secondary to stem undersizing or inadequate medial support (84%). (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
