Periprosthetic fractures are fractures that occur in association with an orthopaedic implant, most often used for joint arthroplasty or fracture fixation. They are associated with significant morbidity and increased mortality in some cases. The incidence of periprosthetic fractures appears to be increasing as a result of increasing patient longevity, more demanding activity levels that persist into advanced age for some patients, and as a result of the increasing rate of revision arthroplasty which accompanies increasing patient longevity. Implant, surgeon, and patient factors all contribute to the risk of periprosthetic fracture. In this review, we intend to discuss current trends in periprosthetic fractures and risk factors associated with their development in the joint arthroplasty and fracture patient.
人工关节周围骨折是指与骨科植入物相关的骨折，最常用于关节置换或骨折固定。在某些情况下，它们与较高的发病率和死亡率相关。由于患者寿命延长、某些患者的活动水平要求更高且持续到老年、以及伴随患者寿命延长而增加的翻修关节置换术的发生率增加，人工关节周围骨折的发生率似乎在增加。植入物、外科医生和患者因素都增加了人工关节周围骨折的风险。在这篇综述中，我们旨在讨论人工关节周围骨折的当前趋势以及与关节置换和骨折患者骨折发展相关的危险因素。
