Osteosynthesis of periprosthetic type A and B femoral fractures using an unlocked plate with integrated cerclage cable and trochanteric hook: A multicenter retrospective study of 45 patients with mean follow-up of 20 months

Injury Oct 14, 2017

Houfani F, et al. - The authors examined fracture healing, complication rate, and functional outcome in this multicenter retrospective study. Furthermore, they aimed to test the hypothesis that this technique allowed a high rate of consolidation and a return to the previous state in terms of autonomy and place of residence. They concluded that this plate allowed for a quick and effective management of patients with femoral periprosthetic fracture (FPF). In some patients with the precarious health condition who cannot tolerate major revision surgery, the low rate of complications and the very good consolidation rate led to the usage of the same plate even for class B2 or B3 fractures: Elderly, ASA score >3, loss of autonomy, Katz score <4.
