Risk factors influencing periprosthetic fracture and mortality in elderly patients following hemiarthroplasty with a cemented collarless polished taper stem for an intracapsular hip fracture.

The cumulative incidence of PFF at four years was 1.1% in elderly patients following cemented PTS hemiarthroplasty for a hip fracture. Perioperative delirium was independently associated with a PFF. However, reoperation for PPF was not independently associated with patient mortality after adjusting for patient-specific factors.
