Bilateral fixation of a periprosthetic intertrochanteric hip fracture below Birmingham hip resurfacing

This case report involves a 59-year-old woman with a traumatic right intertrochanteric hip fracture below a previous Birmingham hip resurfacing (BHR). This woman had almost an identical fracture on the left hip 3 years before which was treated with a proximal femoral locking compression plate. Of note periprosthetic fractures following hip resurfacing are usually subcapital and treated with a revision or conservative management. We present an unusual surgical problem that has occurred twice in the same patient and has been treated effectively on both occasions using proximal femoral plating. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no other reports of bilateral periprosthetic fractures being treated in this way.
