Abstract
The use of the cement-in-cement technique for femoral component revisions has been well described. The application of this technique in the management of selected Vancouver B2 periprosthetic femur fractures, after careful preoperative and intraoperative evaluation, offers a novel alternative that is rapid and technically less demanding, with resulting decreased blood loss and decreased risk of iatrogenic fragmentation of bone during cement removal.
