Take Away Messages

• Assessment – Classification

• Fracture and implant and bone

• Treatment options• Complete bone, stability

• Technical tricks

• Screws, struts, cerclage, nails

• Results

• Heal but patient outcome poor

The Problem(s)• Elderly, increasing number

• Poor bone quality

• Prosthesis blocks fixation possibilities

• No endosteal blood supply if cemented stem

• High stress adjacent to prosthetic stems

• Many fixation techniques - inadequate

Whose job is it?

Both Skill sets needed

Fracture needs fracture surgeon

Revision needs joint surgeon

Assessment

• Patient:

• Health – comorbidities: stable or active

• Acute status – low energy vs. high energy: trauma evaluation, medical assessment

• Function – what can they do

• Limb:

• Vascular – acute, chronic

• Neurological

• Skin

• Prior incisions

Prosthesis  Stability

• Determination

• Clinical

• Pain – pre fracture, start up

• Infection history

• Type of implant

• Radiological

• Prosthesis alignment and changes

• Subsidence – lack of bone ingrowth or loose prosthesis

• Osteolysis – bone quality ‐ CT scan

Prosthesis  Stability• Intraoperative

• Hip 

• Lindahl showed 47% of “stable “ prosthesis were loose J.Arthroplasty 2005 857‐865, JBJS. 8: 1215 – 1222, 2006

• Recommended surgical exploration of all cases and be prepared to revise

• With good bone quality , may consider fixation and revise later if needed

• Knee

• CT maybe helpful

• Very low fractures generally have no 

bone

• Intraoperative

• Others

Principles: Internal Fixation

• Maintain fracture environment that optimizes fracture healing

• Indirect reduction

• Atraumatic surgical techniques ‐MIPO

• Splint the entire bone (longer working length)

• Functions as bridge plate

• Protects osteoporortic bone

• Screws when possible rather than cables

• Bicortical if possible

Biomechanics of Screw FixationFulkerson E, Egol K, et.al. J of Trauma 60(4); 830 – 835, 2006  

Principles• Fracture environment to optimizes fracture healing

• Mechanical environment

‐ Relative stability – fragmentation

‐Minimum plates ‐10 hole for simple, 14 hole for fragmented

‐ Anatomical approximation – simple fracture

‐ Interfragmental compression is hard to achieve in 

osteoporotic bone

‐ Allograft strut enhance poor cortex and improve                               

mechanical stability

‐ fractures at tip of prosthesis

Allograft Struts

• 1/2 length of femur, 2 dia. of femur on each side

• Anterior surface

• Must be contoured to fit

• Held with cerclage to plate

• Consider allograft and DMB at ends

Plate Constructs ‐Mechanics

• Tested metal plate laterally with bicortical screw fixation distally and proximally

• Cerclage with cables thru plate X 4

• Screws unicortical x 4

• Stable fracture versus unstable fracture pattern 

• Screws better than cerclage < stiffness especially with unstable fracture pattern

Lever, J. J of Ortho Surgery and Research 5: 45, 2010

Enhance Stability

• through or attached to plate• must have screw fixation with it

Cerclage

Principles• Enhance the fracture environment that optimizes fracture healing

Biological

‐ Bone grafting  – autogenous or allograft or both

‐ Bone graft substitutes – DMX

‐ BMP

Biomechanics• Torsional capacity ↓ 55‐65% of intact femur for all plates and nails (effect of a screw hole)

• Axially loading• Plate: similar load bearing 

capacity to intact with over lap plate and IDD>10cm

• Nail: IDD no effect if AP screws used – as close as need be• Lateral‐medial screws ↓ load 

capacity by 22%

• Bone quality good B2

• Implant loose

• IV32CB2Assess acetabular problems and may need to treat

Revision Principles• Loose prosthesis + fracture at stem

• Good bone stock (B2)• Revision of stem with adequate fracture

fixation• Revision stem bypasses fracture by 2X

outer diameter of diaphysis (4 to 6 cm)• Fracture fixation – struts, plates,

cerclage, allograft• Non cemented – no cement at fracture
