The optimal surgical repair method still remains a point of controversy in the literature. However few studies have quantified the performance of such repair constructs. This study biomechanically examined 3 different screw-plate and cable-plate systems for fixation of periprosthetic femoral fractures near the tip of a total hip arthroplasty. Methods Twelve pairs of human cadaveric femurs were utilized. Each left femur was prepared for the cemented insertion of the femoral component of a total hip implant. Femoral fractures were created in the femurs and subsequently repaired with Construct A Zimmer Cable Ready System Construct B AO Cable-Plate System or Construct C Dall-Miles Cable Grip System . Right femora served as matched intact controls. Axial torsional and four-point bending tests were performed to obtain stiffness values. Results All repair systems showed to times greater axial stiffness over intact control specimens. Four-point normalized bending to and normalized torsional to stiffnesses were lower than intact controls for most comparisons. Screw-plates provided either greater or equal stiffness compared to cable-plates in almost all cases. There were no statistical differences between plating systems A B or C when compared to each other p . Conclusions Screw-plate systems provide more optimal mechanical stability than cable-plate systems for periprosthetic femur fractures .
