Bilateral distal femoral fracture after total knee arthroplasty☆
The number of total knee arthroplasties has increased exponentially and their indications have been expanded. This procedure presents challenging complications for orthopedic surgeons that are potentially catastrophic for patients. Here, a rare case of simultaneous bilateral periprosthetic fracture of the knee is reported, with discussion of the causal factors, possible management and prophylaxis.
متن کاملDistal femoral fracture during primary total knee arthroplasty.
PURPOSE To review 6 cases of periprosthetic distal femoral fracture during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Of 778 women and 691 men who underwent primary TKAs using posterior-stabilised (n=1240), cruciate-retaining (n=165), or semiconstrained (n=64) implant, 5 women and one man with a mean age of 73.3 years and a mean body mass index of 31.6 kg/m(2) sustained an intra-operative peripro...
متن کاملSupracondylar nailing of distal femoral fractures after total Knee Arthroplasty
We present results of supracondylar nailing in six patients who suffered distal femoral fractures above total knee arthroplasty. The average age of patients was 68 (42-92) years. All six fractures healed in a satisfactory alignment in an average duration of 14.6 weeks. There were no wound infection, loss of reduction or implant failure. All patients had regained their previous range of movement...
متن کاملManagement of periprosthetic femoral fractures after total knee arthroplasty using a distal femoral allograft.
This study is a review and discussion of 12 consecutive patients who were revised with a distal femoral allograft for periprosthetic supracondylar fractures of the femur associated with poor bone quality by the same surgeon between 1990 and 2001. Two were lost to follow-up. The average age was 65 years, and the mean follow up was 6 years. Charts were reviewed to identify complications and graft...
متن کاملFracture Blisters After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Fracture blisters are tense vesicles that arise on markedly swollen skin overlying traumatized soft tissue. While this relatively uncommon complication has been well described in the trauma literature, this article reports for the first time a case of fracture blisters after primary total knee arthroplasty. The fracture blisters developed within 36 hours of surgery and were associated with prof...
