title: Revision for periprosthetic fractures of the hip and knee.
abstract: Many periprosthetic fractures about the hip and knee can be managed successfully with modern internal fixation techniques; however, there are particular circumstances when revision arthroplasty is a better choice. These revision cases often require a substantial amount of preoperative planning and resources. Knowledge of the indications, techniques, and implants needed for managing these complex conditions is paramount for success.
