Figure A and B show a Vancouver B2 peri-prosthetic fracture with loose femoral stem. In Vancouver B2 periprosthetic femur fractures it is recommended that the fracture be stabilized with the use of an uncemented extensively porous coated femoral component. However, in order to increase the femoral strength similar to the contralateral side, the surgeon must bypass the most distal cortical deficiency by two cortices. Greidanus et al is an Instructional Course Lecture highlighting the various methods of treatment for peri-prosthetic fractures depending on bone stock, fracture classification, and available implants. Sledge et al described their technique in order to reconstruct the proximal femur as well as use a uncemented femoral stem to achieve good results.
