[Surgical stabilization of femoral fracture following implantation of straight shaft prostheses].
Fractures of the shaft of the femur at the level of a hip endoprosthesis may cause serious problems in regard to operative stabilization as well as to bony union. The therapeutic procedure and the clinical course are described in two patients. The technical procedure is demonstrated on a plastic femur model. The advantages of cementless implantation of the femoral shaft are discussed in view of this complication.
