Official Title: Isolated Locked Compression Plating Versus Cable Plating and Strut Allografts With Cerclage Wiring for Vancouver B1 Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare two different but standard treatments for the fixation of Vancouver B1 periprosthetic. The investigators aim to compare open reduction internal fixation using a locked plating system versus plating and strut allograft with cerclage wiring to determine which treatment results in a faster return to function as measured by the TUG test at 6 weeks post-op.
