    The study investigates the impact of stem placement sequence on outcomes in revision total hip arthroplasty for Vancouver B2 and B3 periprosthetic femur fractures.

  • 2

    A total of 46 patients were included, divided into two cohorts based on whether the femoral stem was placed before or after fracture reduction.

  • 3

    Primary outcomes measured included radiographic subsidence, implant survivorship at 2 years, and clinical complications or re-revision rates.

  • 4

    The study aims to clarify whether the order of stem placement and fracture reduction affects surgical success and patient outcomes.

  • 5

    Statistical analyses were performed to determine significant differences in outcomes between the two surgical approaches.
