Centre of Traumatology University Hospital Ostrava, Czech Republic

In the statement authors want to draw attention to the possibilities of treatment of periprosthetic fractures of femur. They present their own experiences with the treatment of these fractures by using various types of internal and external fixation evaluated from 1996 to 2003. They present some less common types of internal fixation as e.g. fixation by clamp plates.
