چکیده
In the statement authors want to draw attention to the possibilities of treatment of periprosthetic fractures of femur. They present their own experiences with the treatment of these fractures by using various types of internal and external fixation evaluated from 1996 to 2003. They present some less common types of internal fixation as e.g. fixation by clamp plates.

Treatment of distal femur fractures with locking plates: Comparison of periprosthetic fractures above total knee arthroplasty and non-periprosthetic fractures.
The purpose of the present study was to compare the results and plate fit of periprosthetic and non-periprosthetic distal femur fractures fixed with locking plates. Twenty-one periprosthetic fractures above a TKA and 27 non-periprosthetic fractures were retrospectively reviewed. The primary healing rate, bone union time, clinical and radiographic results, complications, and additional surgeries...
متن کاملA biomechanical evaluation of the interprosthetic distance as a risk factor for periprosthetic fractures of the femur: does the gap distance matter?
Introduction The treatment of femoral fractures between a proximal and distal prosthetic stem is expected to become a major challenge because of the increasing life expectancy and the rising prevalence of osteoporotic fractures, Total Hip (THA) and Total Knee Arthroplasties (TKA). Although orthopedic surgeons intuitively consider a decreased interprosthetic gap distance as an important risk fac...

BACKGROUND Although periprosthetic fractures of the femur are a recognized complication of total hip arthroplasty, periprosthetic fractures of the acetabulum are rare. Simultaneous periprosthetic fractures of both the acetabulum and the femur have not been reported, to our knowledge. CASE REPORT We report a simultaneous fracture of the acetabulum and the femur in a 68-year-old female patient wh...
متن کاملPeriprosthetic Femur Fracture Occuring after Contralateral Neglected Femoral Neck Fracture
INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic fractures of the femur are uncommon, but at times may lead to complications especially in elderly patients. As treatment of these fractures is difficult, prevention by identifying the risk factors is the best way to overcome these complex problems. CASE REPORT A periprosthetic right femur fracture associated with a neglected left femoral neck fracture in the contra...
متن کاملPeriprosthetic Fractures Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
Periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty may occur in any part of the femur, tibia and patella, and the most common pattern involves the supracondylar area of the distal femur. Supracondylar periprosthetic fractures frequently occur above a well-fixed prosthesis, and risk factors include anterior femoral cortical notching and use of the rotational constrained implant. Periprosthet...
