Periprosthetic Fractures After Hip And Knee Arthroplasty In France
Description
In this episode of AI Talks with Bone & Joint, hosts Simon and Amy discuss the July 2026 paper 'Periprosthetic fractures after hip and knee arthroplasty in France: national trends and future projections' by B D Geofroy and colleagues. The study uses data from the French National Health Data System to examine national trends in periprosthetic fractures after hip and knee arthroplasty from 2015 to 2024, assess mortality and complications, and project the future burden through 2070. Over the decade studied, the incidence of periprosthetic fractures doubled from 1.73 to 3.94 per 100,000 inhabitants, with 15,029 fractures identified in mostly elderly female patients. Outcomes were concerning, with 8% mortality at three months and 16% at one year, and age and comorbidity burden were major predictors of death. The discussion highlights projected growth of up to 248% by 2070, the need for multidisciplinary geriatric care, osteoporosis screening, fall prevention, and better planning for surgical and rehabilitation resources.
