Use of a Dall-Miles plate and cables for the fixation of a periprosthetic humeral fracture

Increase in the use of shoulder arthroplasty has resulted in the emergence of periprosthetic fractures of the humerus. The management of such fractures is technically demanding. We describe a case in which a displaced periprosthetic fracture at the tip of a stable humeral implant was successfully ma...

We describe a case in which a displaced periprosthetic fracture at the tip of a stable humeral implant was successfully managed with the Dall-Miles plate and cables system.
