500 and two fracture repair devices 200 in place on a femur 10 an intermedullary prosthesis 100 shown in hidden view has been inserted into the medullary canal of the femur 10 and the lcp 500 extends proximally from a distal end 510 on a portion of the femur 10 distal of a distal end of the prosthesis 100 across a fracture to a proximal end 520 two devices 200 are received over proximal and medial portions of the lcp 500 as these portions of the lcp 500 overlay the prosthesis 100 as the distal end 510 extends distally beyond the distal end of the prosthesis 100 it may be secured to the femur in any conventional manner e g by one or more bone screws inserted straight through the medullary canal and the compact bone on either side thereof as would be understood by those skilled in the art the size configuration and or location of the devices 200 may vary depending on anatomy fracture location and the position and or size of a prosthesis relative to the lcp 500 for example devices 200 may be placed only where the lcp overlays a prosthesis on both sides of a fracture regardless of location of the fracture relative to the lcp 500 or in any other desired arrangement so long as the required bond between the lcp 500 and the underlying bone is established thus one or more additional devices 200 may be attached to the distal end 510 of the lcp 500 or.
