Abstract
The incidence of periprosthetic fractures around the femoral stem is increasing. These are very challenging fractures and need adequate surgical expertise. There is no clear consensus regarding the management of these fractures, especially Vancouver type-B fractures.

Fracture united at 3 months and at one year the patient had excellent functional and radiological outcome.
