Overview

Cement fractures in THR are typically benign; supports expectant management but leaves open thresholds for intervention in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

What is the incidence and prognostic significance of acrylic cement fractures in total hip replacement?

P
Population
6,649 patients who underwent total hip replacement with acrylic cement rendered radio-opaque by the addition of barium sulphate
I
Intervention
Total hip replacement with acrylic cement (observational study of cement fractures)
O
Outcome
Incidence and prognostic significance of fractures of acrylic cement related to the stem of a femoral head prosthesissurrogate

Fractures of acrylic cement in total hip replacement are rare (1.5%), typically asymptomatic, and have a good prognosis unless separation exceeds 4 mm.
