What is a Periprosthetic Fracture Around an Unspecified Internal Prosthetic Joint?
Periprosthetic fracture around an unspecified internal prosthetic joint, is an injury that occurs in the area surrounding a previously implanted joint prosthesis. This type of fracture may occur in the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, or other soft tissues that support the prosthesis.
The prosthesis is typically a medical device that replaces a missing body part or joint. It can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including arthritis, joint pain, and osteoarthritis.
Periprosthetic fractures are often the result of a traumatic injury, such as a fall or car accident, but can also be caused by wear and tear over time.
The most common symptoms of a periprosthetic fracture include pain, swelling, and limited mobility. In some cases, the fracture may also cause a deformity or instability in the joint.
Diagnosis of a periprosthetic fracture usually begins with a physical exam, X-ray, and/or CT scan. Treatment typically involves realigning the bone and stabilizing the joint with screws, plates, or wires. Physical therapy may also be recommended to improve range of motion and strength.
If the fracture does not heal properly, the joint prosthesis may need to be replaced. The type of replacement will depend on the severity of the injury and the patient's overall health.
It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after a periprosthetic fracture to ensure proper healing and to minimize the risk of complications.
