Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to present our technique for the treatment of periplate fractures. Methods. From 2009 to 2012 we treated three patients. In all cases the existing plate was left and the new one placed over the existing. Locking screws were placed through both plates. The other screws in the new plate were used as best suited the fracture. Results. In all cases less than 6 months had passed between fractures. None of the original fractures had healed. Mean followup was 2 years. All fractures proceeded to union within 7 months. No complications were recorded. All the patients returned to their normal activities and were satisfied with the results of their treatment. Conclusion. Our plate on plate technique is effective for the treatment of periplate fractures. A solid fusion can be achieved at the new fracture site without disturbing the previous fixation.

Background: The treatment of periprosthetic trochanteric fractures, especially older fractures, is often a challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of periprosthetic fracture treatment with the anatomic Peri-Plate claw plate.
Material And Methods: Thirteen new fractures (≤6 weeks after occurrence) and 8 older Vancouver A fractures (35.

Background And Purpose: There is no consensus on the optimal surgical procedure for treating Neer type-2 distal clavicle fractures. Hook plates provide better stability than other fixation methods for small fragments but have been related to multiple complications.
Methods: Retrospective study on patients operated for Neer type-2 fractures using a hook plate.

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) using a locking plate has been widely used for distal femur fractures in the elderly with osteoporosis and yielded favourable results. However, implant failure and subsequent periplate fracture have still occurred owing to the controversy of concepts regarding locked plating. The treatment after failed MIPO in elderly patients is very challenging and has been not yet addressed definitely in the literature, although several options can be considered.
