Abstract
The simultaneous occurrence of periprosthetic fracture (PPF) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is among the most devastating complications in arthroplasty and carries the risk of limb loss. For the first time, this study will describe the characteristics, treatment concepts, and outcomes of this complication.Keywords
