Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Periprosthetic hip fractures show increasing incidence and complexity, representing a challenge for the surgeon. We aimed to evaluate the survival of uncemented modular tapered stems in the treatment of periprosthetic Vancouver B2 and B3 type fractures and review the main complications and factors associated with decreased survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of patients submitted to revision arthroplasty for treatment of periprosthetic femoral stem Vancouver B2 and B3 type fractures with an uncemented modular fluted tapered stem (MRP-Titan). Demographic and radiographic parameters were analyzed. The survival rate (free of reoperation) was calculated at 2- and 5-years using the Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients were included with a mean age of 73.5 years and a mean follow-up of 5 years. Arthroplasty survivorship at 2 years was 73.7% and at 5 years was 67.5% (mean 8.4 years; range 6.7-10.2). Survivorship was inferior in the patients with episodes of instability (mean 2.5 years; range 0-5.42) (p<0.001). At least one episode of instability occurred in 26.3% of patients and 60% of these patients had a femoral head size 32mm or lower. At least one episode of instability occurred in 71.4% of patients with a greater trochanter fracture (p=0.008). The consolidation rate was 90.6% and the mortality rate was 23.7%. In the group of patients that died, 55.6% were submitted to at least one revision surgery (p=0.044). CONCLUSION: Survivorship of an uncemented modular stem (MRP-Titan) in revision for PHF is significantly reduced by episodes of instability.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
