Abstract
The prolonged length of stay associated with Vancouver B2 and B3 fractures leads to increased costs to the healthcare service. Accurately calculating the costs of total treatment for periprosthetic fractures is difficult due to a lack of transparency around implant and staffing costs. However, as we can expect increasing incidence of periprosthetic fractures presenting in the coming years it is paramount that we make financial provisions within healthcare budgets to ensure we can treat these patients appropriately.
