Periprosthetic femur fractures are a serious complication after hip replacement surgery. In an aging population these fractures are becoming more and more common. Open reduction and plate osteosynthesis is one of the available treatment options.

Objective

To investigate hip stem stability and cement mantle integrity under cyclic loading conditions after plate fixation with screws perforating the cement in the proximal fragment.
