The overall incidence of different types of periprosthetic fractures is on the rise constantly due to the increasing volume of primary joint arthroplasties and revision arthroplasties. Skills pertaining to advanced complex trauma and arthroplasty are necessary to manage these injuries. Inspite of various algorithms and classifications available regarding management of these injuries, it is necessary for the treating surgeon to understand that the treatment of periprosthetic fractures needs to be individualised optimal for that particular patient. We present our experience in a case of post traumatic periprosthetic Vancouver type B fracture after hemiarthroplasty treated with staged revision cementless long stem Total Hip Arthroplasty(THA).
