"type A: fracture of an apophysis or bone protuberance to which soft-tissue structures are attached (e.g. trochanters of the femur)"
"type B: fracture of the bed supporting a prosthetic implant or adjacent to it"
"B1: the implant is still well fixed"
"B2: the implant is loose"
"B3: the implant is loose and there is poor quality of bone bed"
"type C: fracture of a bone containing a prosthetic implant, but distant from the bed of the implant"
"type D: fracture of a bone with two prosthetic implants (e.g. the femur following a hip and knee replacement)"
"type E: fracture of two bones supporting a prosthetic implant (e.g. the femur and tibia following a knee replacement)"
"type F: fracture of an articular surface that itself was not replaced (e.g. acetabulum following a hemi-arthroplasty of the hip)"
"type F: fracture of an articular surface that itself was not replaced (e.g. acetabulum following a hemi-arthroplasty of the hip)"
"The classification has been shown to have a high inter and intra-observer reproducibility for periprosthetic fractures around total hip 2 and total knee arthroplasties 3."
