Embracing Locking Plate - Placa de bloqueo para atar miembros
For proximal femoral fracture around HIP prosthesis, femoral revision surgery, or HIP reformation surgery.

Periprosthetic femoral fractures are fractures that occur around a previously implanted hip or knee prosthesis. These fractures can be challenging to treat due to the presence of the implant, which can affect fracture stability and healing. The treatment approach depends on various factors, including the location and severity of the fracture, the type of prosthesis, the patient's overall health, and the surgeon's expertise.

Here are some general treatment solutions for periprosthetic femoral fractures:

Non-operative Management: For stable fractures with minimal displacement, non-operative management may be considered. This involves immobilization with a brace or cast, limited weight-bearing, and close monitoring to ensure that the fracture remains stable during the healing process.

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF): This surgical approach involves realigning the fracture fragments and using plates, screws, or other fixation devices to stabilize the fracture. ORIF is often used for fractures that are amenable to stable fixation.

Revision Arthroplasty: In cases where the prosthesis is loose, damaged, or significantly contributing to the fracture, revision surgery may be necessary. This involves removing the existing prosthesis, addressing the fracture, and replacing the prosthesis with a new implant.

Use of Augments: Augments are additional components, often made of bone graft or metal, that are used to provide added stability to the prosthesis and fracture site. Augments can be used in conjunction with revision surgery to reconstruct the bone and improve the overall stability of the joint.

Stem Extensions: In some cases, stem extensions may be used to lengthen the femoral stem of the prosthesis, providing more stability and support in the bone.

Cable and Wire Fixation: Cables and wires can be used to provide additional support and stability to the fracture site, especially in cases where the fracture involves small bone fragments or is complex.

Bone Grafting: Bone grafts may be used to fill in voids, enhance bone healing, or address bone loss that can occur with periprosthetic fractures.
