Progressive wound closure by vessel loop in tibial periprosthetic open fracture

Tibial Periprosthetic Fracture Combined with Tibial Stem Stress Fracture from Total Knee Arthroplasty

Total knee arthroplasty complications related to the prosthetic material are very rare, except for polyethylene wear. We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who came to the emergency service of our hospital with a periprosthetic tibial fracture (Mayo Clinic type I). Careful examination showed that this fracture was concomitantly associated with a tibial stem fatigue fracture. The prosthesis ...

Periprosthetic fracture of the tibial plateau after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

The authors report three cases of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), complicated with peri-operative periprosthetic fracture of the tibial plateau. The surgical technique was held responsible in all cases. The initial treatment was different in every case; all patients ultimately underwent revision total knee arthroplasty with a good functional outcome. The authors emphasise the importan...

Tibial Tuberosity Avulsion Fracture and Open Proximal Tibial Fracture in an Adult

A displaced tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture associated with an open extra-articular proximal tibial diaphyseal fracture is an uncommon fracture pattern. This case report describes the successful management of such a fracture pattern in a 45-year old male using an open reduction and lag screw fixation of the tuberosity with a minimally invasive reduction and plate fixation of the proximal ti...

OPEN PATELLA PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE AFTER TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURES

Open Periprosthetic Patellar Fracture after Total Knee Replacement

INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic patellar fracture after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare complication. Their management can be very challenging with unpredictable results. Literature analysis showed few articles about this complication, but no publication has described the management of open patella fracture around total knee arthroplasty. CASE PRESENTATION We report a unique case of an op...
