As the prevalence of periprosthetic femoral fractures has increased over the last decade, the complications associated with their treatment have been increasingly recognized. However, optimal management strategies remain unclear. The difficulty involved in the management of these fractures is evidenced by the array of treatment options described in the literature without a clear consensus regarding the most appropriate method.
Contemporary fracture-fixation techniques that have focused on minimizing soft-tissue disruption and periosteal stripping have reduced the need for supplemental bone-grafting.
In this video supplement to the JBJS article, William M. Ricci, M.D., of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO., discusses and demonstrates his surgical technique of indirect fracture-reduction combined with fixation with a single lateral plate without the use of structural allograft, for the treatment of periprosthetic femoral shaft fracture about a stable intramedullary implant.
