A variety of cerclage systems are available for the fixation of periprosthetic fractures. The aim of this study was to compare the forces applied by these systems. We designed and manufactured a device to measure the forces applied to a cylindrical structure by a cerclage cable. Five different commonly used systems were evaluated. The forces exerted were measured at four different locations on the cylinder and this was compared to the force indicated by the tensioning device.Background
