The management of periprosthetic distal femur fractures (PDFFs) is influenced by the type of fracture and bone quality. Mechanical stability and stress dispersion of internal fixation are key factors to consider. In the perioperative setting, involving experienced clinicians is essential to reduce the risk of secondary injuries that may impact treatment outcomes, especially when choosing screws for fixation in patients with low bone density.
