Smith & Nephew: Treating Fractures Around the Hip with THA: Tips and Tricks for the Orthopaedic Traumatologist

Recent updates to clinical practice guidelines, along with strong recommendations, support the increased treatment of femoral neck fractures with cemented stems. In addition, recent evidence suggests that if not cementing, a collared press-fit stem may also provide protection against periprosthetic fracture, and that dual mobility implants may provide further protection against dislocation. In this session, learn how Smith+Nephew’s unique solutions of the POLARSTEM femoral system with the OR3O Dual Mobility acetabular construct may contribute to improved patient outcomes in hip fractures and cases with osteoporotic bone.
