Authors recommended treatment options in different scenarios for G-type periprosthetic fractures

Scenario	Treatment option
1. Good bone stock in both the fragments	Revision joint arthroplasty
2. Poor bone stock in the fragment close to the joint	Young patient: allograft prosthesis composite Elderly patient: megaprosthesis
3. Poor bone stock in both the proximal and distal fragments	Adequate remaining bone stock in young patient: allograft prosthesis composite with or without struts augmentation Adequate remaining bone stock in elderly: megaprosthesis Remaining bone stock not adequate to hold the allograft prosthesis composite or megaprosthesis: total femoral prosthesis
