Early Surgical Management of Periprosthetic Hip Fracture Does Not Reduce Mortality or Cardiopulmonary Complications: A Propensity-Matched Analysis.

BACKGROUND Whether early surgery reduces mortality in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) for periprosthetic proximal femur fractures (PPFF) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between time to surgery and short- and long-term outcomes following PPFF. METHODS Using a large national...
