Takahashi D, Noyama Y, Asano T, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to assess the stability of a double-plate procedure using reversed contralateral locking compression-distal femoral plates for fixation of Vancouver B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures under full weight-bearing. Finite element analysis and biomechanical loading tests were used to examine single- and double-plate fixation procedures for locking compression-distal femoral plates under an axial load of 1,500 N. According to the findings of this study, dual-plate fixation with reversed locking compression-distal femoral plates may be an excellent treatment procedure for patients with Vancouver B1 fractures, allowing for full weight-bearing in the early postoperative period.
