Consensus review on peri-implant femur fracture treatment: Peri-Implant Spanish Consensus (PISCO) investigators’ recommendations

Abstract

Population aging has become a widely known phenomenon in industrialized nations. In 2030, there will be about 1 billion people aged 65 and older globally (1). The growing life expectancy will be associated to an increase of chronic diseases, like osteoporosis and the fractures related to it. Therefore, the incidence of lower extremity fractures around pre-existing fixation hardware will also increase (2, 3).
