Outcomes of osteosynthesis of periprosthetic fractures of the greater trochanter with an anatomic claw plate

BackgroundThe 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 methodsThirteen new fractures (≤6 weeks after occurrence) and 8 older Vancouver A_G fractures (35.4 ± 26.1 weeks after occurrence) were followed radiologically and clinically with a follow-up of 44.6 ± 18.8 (24–81) months.ResultsAt 6 months, osseous consolidation had occurred in 12 cases and fibrous union in 9 cases. At 12 months one additional osseous consolidation was shown. The Harris hip score (HHS) increased from 37.2 ± 10.3 preoperatively to 87.6 ± 10.3 12 months after surgery. Thirteen patients reported no, 7 mild and one patient significant local trochanteric pain.ConclusionsThe Peri-Plate claw plate can achieve reproducibly good outcomes in terms of fracture stabilization and bony consolidation, as well as with regard to clinical outcomes in the treatment of new and older periprosthetic trochanteric fractures.     

Are proximal screws necessary for osteosynthesis of stable-stem periprosthetic femoral fractures fixed with non-locking plate and cable?

IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the cable-plate-cable technique which comprises fixation of the proximal fragment using cable loops without additional proximal screws on the plate for the treatment of stable-stem periprosthetic femoral fractures around hip prostheses.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed Vancouver types B1 and C periprosthetic femoral fractures treated with a dynamic compression plate combined with Dall-Miles cable between 2010 and 2016 at a single institution and followed for at least 12 months. Patients were treated with proximal fragment fixation using cable combined with screws (Group I) or with proximal fragment fixation using cable alone (Group II). Demographic data, fracture types, and clinical and radiological outcomes were analyzed.ResultsA total of 50 patients were included (Group I, n = 23 patients; Group II, n = 27). Fracture union was achieved in 49 patients with one case of non-union in Group I and no cases of non-union in Group II. Mean time to union was 5.4 months in Group I and 5.1 months in Group II (P = 0.624). Mean Harris hip score at latest assessment was 69.5 in Group I and 69.4 in Group II (P = 0.919). Regarding complications, there was one deep wound infection, one stem subsidence, and one loss of reduction in Group I, and one stem subsidence in Group II. No significant difference in clinical and radiological outcomes between groups was observed.ConclusionsThe cable-plate-cable technique sufficiently treats Vancouver types B1 and C periprosthetic femoral fractures without use of additional screws in the proximal fragment.

Outcome of buttress plate-nail construct used for reconstruction of broken lateral wall in intertrochanteric fractures

PurposeIntramedullary implants are well accepted fixation of all types of intertrochanteric (IT) fractures, both stable and unstable types. Intramedullary nails have an ability to effectively support the posteromedial part, but fail to buttress the broken lateral wall requiring lateral augmentation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of proximal femoral nail augmented with trochanteric buttress plate for broken lateral wall with IT fractures, which was fixed to the femur through hip screw and anti-rotation screw nail.MethodsOf 30 patients, 20 had Jensen-Evan type III and 10 had type V fractures. Patients with IT fracture of broken lateral wall and aged more than 18 years, in whom satisfactory reduction was achieved by closed methods, were included in the study. Patients with pathologic or open fractures, polytrauma, prior hip surgery, non-ambulatory prior to surgery, and those who refused to participate were excluded. The operative time, blood loss, radiation exposure, quality of reduction, functional outcome, and union time were evaluated. All data were coded and recorded in Microsoft Excel spread sheet program. SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis and normality of the continuous data was checked using Kolmogorv Smirnov test.ResultsThe mean age of patients in the study was 60.3 years. The mean duration of surgery (min), mean intra-operative blood loss (mL) and mean number of exposures were 91.86 ± 12.8 (range 70 – 122), 144.8 ± 3.6 (range 116 – 208), and 56.6 (range 38 – 112), respectively. The mean union time was 11.6 weeks and the mean Harris hip score was 94.1.ConclusionLateral trochanteric wall in IT fractures is significantly important, and needs to be reconstructed adequately. Nail-plate construct of trochanteric buttress plate fixed with hip screw and anti-rotation screw of proximal femoral nail can be successfully used to augment, fix or buttress the lateral trochanteric wall giving excellent to good results of early union and reduction.     

Periprosthetic femoral fractures around well fixed implants: a simple method of fixation using LC-DCP with trochanteric purchase

Periprosthetic fractures of the femur are among the most serious complications in hip surgery. Various classifications have been suggested. At present the Vancouver classification system probably comes closest to the ideal. Most authors recommend internal fixation of the fractures in well-fixed implants (Vancouver type B1). However as the fixation to the proximal fragment has always been a problem, many types of fixation devices have been used. This retrospective study was done to evaluate the efficacy of an LC-DCP with trochanteric purchase, in the fixation of Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures. Our study included 12 patients, 7 male and 5 female with a mean age of 73 years (range: 57 to 91). One patient died due to complications not related to surgery and in another patient the plate was found broken with a loose implant, which was revised. All cases were primary arthroplasties. A long broad LC-DCP was used for the fixation. Purchase in the proximal fragment was obtained with screws in the greater trochanter. Ten fractures united in an average period of 7 months. The mean duration of follow-up was 6.5 years. The final results were evaluated using the Harris hip score. The mean Harris hip score was 85 with a range of 75 to 94.     

Claw plate fixation of the greater trochanter in revision total hip arthroplasty

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate a new trochanteric claw plate for trochanteric fixation. From 1998 to 2004, 31 procedures were performed by one surgeon. Mean follow-up was 2.2 years. Indications for the procedure included 16 nonunion, 7 trochanteric osteotomy, 5 periprosthetic fractures, and 3 intraoperative fractures. Median Harris hip scores improved from 47 to 92 points (P < .0001). No patient had an abductor lurch postoperatively (P < .0001). No patient had moderate or severe pain postoperatively (P < .0001). Median active abduction increased from 0 degrees to 25 degrees (P < .0001). Osseous union occurred in 28 of 31 hips. Plate-related complications occurred in 6 of 31 hips. No significant difference was identified for outcomes based on indication. In conclusion, the claw plate in this study can sufficiently treat the complex situation of trochanteric nonunion, fracture, or osteotomy.

Superior outcome of strut allograft-augmented plate fixation for the treatment of periprosthetic fractures around a stable femoral stem

Purpose

This study was designed to compare the outcome of two surgical approaches for treating femoral periprosthetic fractures around a stable femoral stem. The hypothesis was that plate fixation alone might be associated with a higher complication rate due to insufficient mechanical stability. We also considered that the addition of a strut allograft would contribute to fracture healing by means of osteoconduction.

Methods

We retrospectively assessed the outcome of 21 patients who sustained periprosthetic fractures around a total hip replacement system (Vancouver type B1 and type C fractures) and who were treated in our department (January 2006 and August 2011) either by plate fixation alone or by plate fixation and a strut allograft. The mean postoperative follow-up was 23 months (range 9–69 months). Eleven patients were treated by plate fixation alone (Plate Group), and 10 patients were treated by plate fixation and a deep frozen cortical strut allograft (AG Group). Functional outcome was rated by the Harris Hip scoring system. Postoperative radiographs were assessed for evidence of fracture union. Surgical failure was defined as any complication requiring surgical revision.

Results

The 21 patients included 17 females and 4 males. The average age was 79 years (range, 73–88) for the Plate Group and 82 years (range, 53–94) for the AG Group, and the average time to fracture union was 12 weeks (range, 2.5–6 months) and 12.95 weeks (range, 1.5–3) respectively. The overall failure rate was significantly higher in the Plate Group: 5 of them required revision surgery compared to none in the AG Group (p = 0.014).

Conclusion

The results of this analysis indicate that a strut allograft augmentation approach to Vancouver type B1 and type C periprosthetic fractures results in a better outcome than plate fixation alone by apparently adding mechanical stability and enhancing the biological healing process.     

An international,cross-sectional survey of the management of Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures around total hip arthroplasties

IntroductionThe incidence of periprosthetic femoral fractures around total hip arthroplasties is increasing. Fractures around a stable implant stem (Vancouver type B1) are among the most common of these fractures. Various fixation strategies for Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic fractures have been reported in the literature; however, little high-level evidence exists. This study was designed to determine the current management strategies and opinions among orthopaedic surgeons treating Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures, and to evaluate the need for a large prospective randomized controlled trial for the management of these injuries.MethodsOrthopaedic surgeon members of the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA), the Canadian Orthopaedic Association (COA), and the Hip Society were invited to participate in a 51-item web-based survey surrounding the management of periprosthetic femoral fractures around total hip replacements, as well as the perceived need for future research in this area. Responses were summarized using proportions, and further stratified by practice type, case volume, surgeon age, and fellowship training.ResultsFor Vancouver type B1 fractures, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with locked plating was favoured slightly over ORIF with cable plating ± cortical strut allograft (51.1% versus 45.5%). When compared to cable plating with cortical strut allograft, respondents believed that isolated locked plating resulted in lower nonunion and reoperation rates, but similar infection and malunion rates. Subgroup analyses revealed that practice type, surgeon age, case volume, and fellowship training influenced surgeons’ management of periprosthetic femoral fractures and beliefs regarding complications. There is high demand for a large prospective randomized controlled trial for Vancouver type B1 fracture fixation.ConclusionsConsensus surrounding the management of Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures is lacking, and there is a perceived need among orthopaedic surgeons for a large prospective randomized controlled trial in order to define the optimal management of these injuries.

Proximal femoral allograft treatment of Vancouver type-B3 periprosthetic femoral fractures after total hip arthroplasty

BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic femoral fractures following total hip arthroplasty are becoming more prevalent. When a fracture occurs in a femur with substantial proximal bone deficiency, the surgical options for revision are limited. One option includes the use of a proximal femoral allograft. METHODS: We retrospectively assessed the results and complications of the use of a proximal femoral allograft to treat twenty-five Vancouver type-B3 periprosthetic fractures in twenty-four patients. The mean duration of follow-up was 5.1 years. Clinical results were graded with use of the Harris hip score. Radiographs were assessed for evidence of trochanteric union, host-allograft union, allograft resorption, and component loosening or fracture. Failure of the procedure was defined as the need for revision surgery requiring graft removal. RESULTS: The mean postoperative Harris hip score was 70.8. At the time of the final follow-up, twenty-one of the twenty-four patients reported no or mild pain and twenty-three patients were able to walk; fifteen required a walking aid. The greater trochanter united in seventeen of the twenty-five hips, and osseous union of the allograft to the host femur occurred in twenty hips. There was mild graft resorption in four hips and moderate graft resorption in two. Four (16%) of the twenty-five hips required repeat revision. CONCLUSIONS: The use of a proximal femoral allograft for the treatment of a Vancouver type-B3 periprosthetic femoral fracture can provide a satisfactory result in terms of pain relief and function at five years.     

Locking plate osteosynthesis for Vancouver Type B1 and Type C periprosthetic fractures of femur: a report on 12 patients

Many methods have been described to stabilise periprosthetic fractures around a total hip arthroplasty. Locking plate fixation offers increased angular stability and, theoretically, better fixation in osteoporotic bone. This study presents our results with the use of locking plate fixation for Vancouver Type B1 and Type C periprosthetic fractures following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Twelve patients underwent fixation of periprosthetic fractures with either a locking compression plate (LCP) or a distal femur less invasive stabilisation system (LISS). There were six Type B1 and six Type C fractures. One patient died soon after surgery. The mean follow-up was 13.9 months (range 12-18 months). The fracture healed in 10 of the remaining 11 patients with a median time to union of 4.8 months. There was one implant failure prior to fracture healing and one implant failure after fracture healing. Both were attributed to technical errors. Seven patients returned to their previous level of mobility. Two patients required the use of one walking stick after fracture healing, but had been able to walk unaided before their fall. One patient required two sticks, after previously requiring only a single stick. There were no infections. Our experience encourages us that locking plates have a role to play in managing periprosthetic fractures around a stable femoral stem, especially in patients with poor soft tissue and osteoporosis.     

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis with locking compression plate in patients with Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures

BackgroundPeriprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain one of the most challenging complications to address. Although the principal treatment modalities for Vancouver type B1 fractures are open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), surgeons have not yet reached a consensus on the optimal method for reduction and fixation. We therefore investigated whether minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) using locking compression plate (LCP) would lead to favorable outcomes for patients with Vancouver type B1 PFFs. In addition, we also compared the outcomes of patients treated with MIPO to those treated with ORIF.MethodWe retrospectively evaluated the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a series of 21 Vancouver type B1 PFFs treated with MIPO and LCP between February 2011 and February 2017. The mean duration of follow-up was 33.8 months. We also compared outcomes of these patients to those of patients with 19 Vancouver type B1 fractures treated with ORIF between April 2006 and December 2011.ResultsFracture healing without complications was achieved in 20 (95.2%) out of 21 cases in the MIPO group and in 14 (87.5%) out of 16 cases in the ORIF group. There was one case of fixation failure with stem subsidence in the MIPO group. In the ORIF group, there were 2 nonunion with metal failure. Operation time was significantly shorter and intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in the MIPO group compared to the ORIF group. However, there were no significant differences in frequency of transfusion, time-to-union, walking abilities, modified Harris hip score, or complications.ConclusionThe radiological and clinical outcomes of MIPO using LCP in patients with Vancouver type B1 PFFs were shown not to be inferior to ORIF and resulted in fewer intraoperative complications than ORIF. If care is taken regarding the stability of femoral implant and optimal surgical techniques, MIPO may be a recommended option in the treatment of Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic fracture.     

Clinical and radiological results of locking plate fixation for periprosthetic femoral fractures around hip arthroplasties: a retrospective multi-center study

Background Osteosynthesis of periprosthetic femoral fractures around hip arthroplasties is challenging, and locking plate fixation has been found to be a reasonable treatment. However, there is a paucity of evidence of the extent to which patients recover their activities of daily living (ADL). The purpose of this study was to study the clinical results, particularly recovery of ADL, radiological results, and potential complications arising from the use of locking plate fixation for periprosthetic femoral fractures around hip arthroplasties.Methods We conducted a retrospective, multi-center study. Patients with periprosthetic femoral fractures around hip arthroplasties who were treated by osteosynthesis with use of locking plates and who underwent follow-up for at least 6 months postoperatively were enrolled in the study. For each patient, recovery of ADL, in terms of social and ambulatory recovery and Parker mobility score, were compared before fracture and at last follow-up. Postoperative complications were investigated. Bony union, loss of reduction, and malunion were assessed radiologically.Results Thirty-two patients were enrolled in this study. Mean follow-up was 25.1 months. For 84.4, 68.8, and 53.1 % of patients, respectively, social status, ambulation, and Parker mobility score at last follow-up were determined to be equal to that before the fracture. Bony union was observed for 30 patients within the follow-up period. Four patients had not achieved bony union 6 months postoperatively. There was no loss of reduction, malunion, or implant breakage, and no infection. For one patient each, partial pullout of the locking screws and a supracondylar fracture at the plate end were observed, and additional surgery was required.Conclusions Our results reveal that locking plate fixation provided sufficient stability for satisfactory recovery of ADL for most elderly patients with periprosthetic femoral fractures around hip arthroplasties.     

Surgical treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures: a retrospective study with functional and radiological outcomes from 2010 to 2016

Background

The treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures is a great challenge for the orthopedic surgeon and requires a knowledge of bone fracture fixation as well as skills and experience in revision surgery. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of periprosthetic femoral fractures surgically treated in our department from 2010 to 2016.

Materials and methods

This study involved 73 patients with a periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty. Periprosthetic femoral fractures were classified using the Vancouver system. Functional outcomes were assessed using Harris hip score, Palmer Parker score, SF-36 score and ambulatory status. Radiological findings were classified using Beals and Tower’s criteria.

Results

The mean age of patients was 79.6 years old. Local risks factors were identified in 67% of the patients, principally osteoporosis (63.0%), followed by osteolysis (26.0%) and loosening of the stem (8.2%). According to the Vancouver classification, there were 10 type A, 49 type B and 14 type C fractures. Of the type B fractures, 26 were B1, 17 were B2 and 6 were B3. Applying Beals and Tower’s criteria, radiological results were excellent in 24 patients (32.9%), good in 35 (47.9%) and poor in 14 (19.2%). The mean Harris hip score post-operatively was 72.5.

Conclusions

These kinds of fractures should be assessed individually and the optimal treatment plan should be made in accordance with the bone stock quality, stem stability, location of the fracture and patient expectations.

     

Dall-Miles cable and plate fixation system in the treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures: a review of 20 cases

PURPOSE: To assess the effectiveness of Dall-Miles cables and plates in the treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures around hip arthroplasties. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 20 cases of periprosthetic femoral fracture treated with the Dall-Miles cable and plate system between November 1999 and December 2002 in James Paget Hospital in the United Kingdom. Demographic data, fracture type, and surgical outcome of the patients were reviewed and assessed. RESULTS: Of the 20 cases of periprosthetic femoral fracture, one was of Vancouver type A, 15 were of type B1, and 4 were of type C. The mean age at operation was 78.5 years (range, 68-90 years) with a male to female ratio of 11:9. The mean time to union was 3.9 months (range, 3-8 months), and the mean follow-up period was 19.4 months (range, 1-4 years). 15 patients achieved satisfactory results, including 2 delayed unions that healed with a residual varus deformity of 15 degrees in the femoral component. Three patients developed deep-seated wound infections. No nonunion of fractures or fixation system failures occurred. CONCLUSION: The Dall-Miles cable and plate fixation system alone is a sufficient treatment for most periprosthetic femoral fractures. In the management of B1 fractures, there was no significant difference in clinical outcome, despite the various combinations of cables and screws used for stabilisation of the plate. However, in cases of comminution at the fracture site, junctional grafting with morsellised autograft may be used in addition to internal fixation to accelerate union.
