Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Supracondylar 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...

Management 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...

In-Hospital Outcomes after Hemiarthroplasty versus Total Hip Arthroplasty for Isolated Femoral Neck Fractures

  Background:    Previous studies suggest total hip arthroplasty may have some benefits compared to hemi-arthroplasty for displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures in patients more than 60 years of age. The primary research question of our study was whether in-hospital adverse events, post-operative length of stay (LOS) and mortality in patients 60 year of age or older differed between tot...

Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty for Simple Distal Femoral Fractures in Elderly Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

PURPOSE Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be an alternative method for treating distal femoral fractures in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results in patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent TKA with the Medial Pivot prosthesis for distal femoral fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight displaced ...
