- PURPOSE
To evaluate the incidence rate and risk factors for periprosthetic fracture after total knee replacement (TKR).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We carried out a retrospective case-control study of 596 patients (951 knees) who underwent TKR between 1999 and 2006 and who were followed up over 36 months. We classified patients into group I (study group) and group II (control group). We subdivided risk factors as pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative factors. Age, osteoporosis, revision arthroplasty, CVA, and alcohol dependence were categorized as pre-operative factors; anterior femoral notching and prosthetic types (mobile, fixed, and load-bearing) were considered intra-operative factors; and post-operative activity level was classified as a post-operative factor. We obtained information from the patients' charts, X-ray film, and telephone interviews.
RESULTS
The overall incidence rate was 2.25%; 3 patients were male, and 18 were female (14.28% and 85.72%, respectively). Old age (p<0.01, odds ratio=1.14), osteoporosis (p=0.01, odds ratio=4.74), revision arthroplasty (p=0.01, odds ratio=7.46), CVA (p=0.02, odds ratio=8.55), and alcohol dependence (p=0.03, odds ratio=44.54) were statistically significant among the pre-operative factors. Among the intra-operative factors, anterior femoral notching (p<0.01, odds ratio=11.74) was significant, and continued heavy labor (p<0.01, odds ratio=8.14) was significant among the post-operative factors.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that old age, osteoporosis, revision arthroplasty, comorbidity related with falling down, anterior femoral notching, and continued heavy labor were associated with periprosthetic fracture after TKR.

- PURPOSE
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the operating time, timing of ambulation, functional results and complications using the calcar replacement stem for the severely comminuted unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From August 1991 through January 2001, 20 elderly patients over the 75 year old patients had undergone bipolar hemiarthroplasty with calcar replacement stem for the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
RESULTS
The mean operating time was 45 minutes and mean Harris Hip Score was 84.7. Ambulation with walker was started at post-operative 8 days and full weight bearing was 6.9 weeks, each. Complications were 2 cases of wound infection, 1 case of severe thigh pain and 1 case of dislocation.
CONCLUSION
Early ambulation, functional restoration and decrease of the complications with bipolar hemiarthroplasty using calcar replacement stem for severely comminuted unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients, therefore this methods seems to be one of the effective treatments.
