Abstract
In periprosthetic distal femur fracture locking plate fixation, proximal hole stabilization with a cerclage wire tolerates significantly higher failure forces while distributing forces distal to the area within the plate fixation. Cerclage wiring may be an option in distal femur periprosthetic fractures to alleviate stress risers in vulnerable bone.
