Evaluate the mid-term success rate of these stems in periprosthetic femur fractures and to analyze the complications observed with the use of these stems. METHODS Thirty five patients that underwent hip revision surgery secondary to Vancouver type B2 and B3 periprosthetic femur fracture were evaluated. In all cases, modular fluted tapered stems were used. RESULTS Average follow-up was 42 months. Average Postoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) was 78.11. Fracture healing was obtained in a 100% of the patients. Average implant survival was 50 months. CONCLUSION Modular fluted tapered stems demonstrated a high rate implant stability, proximal femoral bone reconstitution, and fracture healing.
