As the rate of hip and knee arthroplasty procedures increases, so will the rate of interprosthetic fractures. Several factors, including bone quality, bone quantity, and stability of the prosthetic components, play a role in determining the appropriate operative treatment. Patients with stable components should undergo reduction and internal fixation, while patients with loose components should undergo either revision arthroplasty, with or without additional fixation, or conversion to total femur replacement. Despite implant and technique advances, complications remain frequent. [Orthopedics. 2018; 41(1):e1-e7.].

Periprosthetic fractures and their associated complications present significant challenges for orthopaedic surgeons. It is important to provide an overview of the current management of periprosthetic fractures, including techniques for osteosynthesis and revision total hip and knee arthroplasty, as well as special considerations for periprosthetic acetabular fractures, periprosthetic tibial fractures, and interprosthetic femur fractures. In addition, the guiding principles for the management of potential subsequent complications including infection, nonunion, and instability are discussed.

Introduction: The management of periprosthetic femoral fractures is particularly complex in an elderly, frail population, with an increasing incidence due to the increase in femoral prosthesis surgery. The use of locking plates is now widely recommended. The primary objective of this study was to present the results of NCB-PP® locking plates in the management of periprosthetic femoral fractures.

Background: Distal femur fractures (DFFs) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in older patients often require prolonged non-weight-bearing, thereby decreasing their activities of daily living (ADL) and increasing mortality. This report clarifies early weight-bearing safety and utility by using double-plate fixation on medial and lateral sides (LM180 double-plate fixation) for DFFs following TKA.
Case Presentation: Three cases of Su Type III periprosthetic, interprosthetic, and interimplant DFFs following TKA, where bone stock was limited, were treated with LM180 double-plate fixation using locking plates through medial and lateral incisions on the distal femur.

Background: Interprosthetic femur fractures (IPFFs) are a rare, but devastating complication following total joint arthroplasty. There is limited evidence to help guide their management. The purpose of this study was to describe the features, treatment, and outcomes of surgically managed IPFFs.

Mega-endoprostheses enable wide management options in the treatment of primary and periprosthetic fracture of the lower extremities. In this study, we report on the use of custom-made subtotal diaphyseal endoprosthetic replacement in treatment of interprosthetic femoral fracture. This procedure is off-label, but in this particular case, it was the safest and most stress-stable treatment option.
