AB158. SOH26AB_0198. The acute healthcare burden of periprosthetic fractures: a retrospective, single-centre study

Periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) are complex requiring specialist input and increased resources. Patients are frail and comorbid, similar to hip fracture patients. We hypothesize that although these patients are treated in accordance with Irish Hip Fracture Database (IHFD) neck of femur fracture guidelines, they require longer operations, more complex surgery, and require intensive care unit (ICU) stay more. As such, we aimed to compare the peri- and postoperative outcomes of PPF to hip fractures for assessment of resources.
