BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of total knee and hip arthroplasties result in a growing number of @entity3330 ( @entity3330 ). @entity3330 with a stable stem component are treated commonly with plate osteosynthesis. Therefore plate failure is seen as a major complication. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the @entity1 ' outcome after plate failure. METHODS: The database of a Level 1 @entity130 center was searched for all @entity1 treated for a @entity3330 with plate osteosynthesis. @entity1 with plate failure were investigated specifically. Standard demographic data, details on initial arthroplasty, @entity130 , and treatment were recorded for all @entity1 . All @entity174 were classified and their outcome reviewed. RESULTS: Seven (8.8%) out of 80 @entity1 treated with plate osteosynthesis following @entity3330 met our inclusion criterion being plate failure. All these @entity1 were female, with an average age at primary surgery of 74        13 years and a mean follow-up of 885 days (range, 264-2549). Four @entity1 suffered a @entity3330 after total hip arthroplasty (THA) (2 Vancouver Type B1 and 2 Type C) and three after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) (Lewis-Rorabeck Type II). Following plate failure, four @entity1 healed uneventfully and three @entity1 experienced complications such as @entity1516 , @entity1349 , and further plate failure. CONCLUSION: In @entity1 with poor bone quality, bone graft, bone cement, and bone biologics have to be considered in revision surgery. Furthermore, long-stem revision and @entity5 prosthesis are an additional solution.
