The optimal technique for plate fixation to treat type B and C periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) is unclear. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the radiographic results of inner-side-out limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP) to treat PFFs during or after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
