Periprosthetic Femur Fracture Classification / Treatment

  •  Vancouver classification
  • Type A=proximal to prosthesis (trochanteric region_:
  • Type B1=fracture around the stem or at the tip of the stem with component solidly fixed.
    -Treatment=plating vs allograft strut
  • Type B2=femor fracture around or just distal to a loose stem with adequate proximal bone stock.
    -Treatment= revision with long porous-coated cylindrical stem.
  • Type B3=femor fracture around or just distal to a loose stem with poor proxmial bone
    -Treatment: revision to long stem prosthesis +/- bone grafting/strutt. Consider proximal femoral replacement for elderly inactive patients. (Klein GR, JBJS 2005;87Am:1777).
  • Type C=distal to prosthesis, treated independently

  • Lateral locked plating with indirect reduction (Ricci WM, JOT 2006;20:190).
