One case of periprosthetic fracture. A 67-year-old male patient was diagnosed with a purulent infection of the left hip and underwent debridement and antibiotic-loaded bone cement temporary spacers. PD occurred twice, and closed reduction was successful with the Allis maneuver. However, periprosthetic fracture of the greater trochanter was confirmed after the second reduction and treated with a conservative strategy because the spacers were stable. a. Preoperative X-ray film of the affected hip. b. Anteroposterior (AP) X-ray film of the affected hip immediately after revision. c. AP view X-ray film of the affected hip immediately after the first PD. d. AP view X-ray film immediately after the first reduction. e. AP view X-ray film immediately after the second PD. f. AP view X-ray film after the second reduction, showing greater trochanter fracture
