Biomechanics of Periprosthetic Fixation: Plates, Nails, Cables, and Allografts. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) present unique challenges to orthopaedic surgeons in terms of limited cortical fixation options, poor bone quality, cement mantles, and stress risers introduced from the prosthesis. Various fixation strategies have been used in PPFs including the use of intramedullary nails, locked plates, unicortical locking screws, cerclage wires and cables, double-plating techniques, and allograft struts. Here, we will review the biomechanics of various fixation strategies used in PPFs.
