A 53-year-old male who sustained a periprosthetic femur fracture 2 years after primary total hip arthroplasty. Three years after revision, there was another periprosthetic fracture. a, b Preoperative anteroposterior X-ray and three-dimensional reconstruction of the femur showed a spiral fracture. No signs of prosthesis loosening were observed. c The femoral stem was loosened intraoperatively and long-stem revision was used for treatment. d, e The anteroposterior radiographs and three-dimensional reconstruction of the femur showed a short transverse fracture. f, g The anteroposterior radiographs on the 2 weeks after the operation which use locked compression plate Fixation, with allograft strut showed satisfactory fracture reduction and good alignment
