Risk of Vancouver-Type AG Greater Trochanteric Periprosthetic Fractures After Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Comparison of Anterolateral and Posterolateral Approaches in 118 Patients

Key Points

• This study aims to evaluate the risk of Vancouver-type AG periprosthetic fractures following different surgical approaches in total hip arthroplasty.
• Retrospective comparison of anterolateral and posterolateral surgical approaches.
• Involved 118 patients who underwent cementless total hip arthroplasty.
• Analyzed the incidence of greater trochanteric periprosthetic fractures.
• Documented higher instances of periprosthetic fractures in one surgical group compared to the other.
• Statistical significance indicated differences in fracture risk based on surgical technique.
