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...
متن کاملSupracondylar nailing for difficult distal femur fractures.
PURPOSE To evaluate outcome following supracondylar nailing for distal femur fractures. METHODS The clinical and radiological outcome for 13 patients treated between January 1995 and December 1998 at the University Malaya Medical Center was assessed. Patients were seen for follow-up for a mean duration of 20.2 months. RESULTS There were no cases of non-union or infection. Overall assessment...
متن کاملAntegrade interlocking nailing for distal femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To assess outcomes of antegrade interlocking nailing for supracondylar or intercondylar fractures of the distal femur. METHODS Records of 10 women and 20 men aged 20 to 70 (mean, 48.7) years who underwent antegrade interlocking nailing for distal femoral fractures were reviewed. 23 patients had closed fractures and 7 had open fractures; 6 had associated fractures of the forearm or tib...
متن کاملManaging extremely distal periprosthetic femoral supracondylar fractures of total knee replacements - a new PHILOS-ophy
We report two cases where a proximal humeral locking plate was used for the fixation of an extremely distal, type III peri-prosthetic femoral fractures in relation to a total knee replacement (TKR). In each case there was concern regarding the fixation that could be achieved using the available anatomic distal femoral plates due to the size and bone quality of distal fragment. The design of the...
متن کاملComparison of locked plating and intramedullary nailing for periprosthetic supracondylar femur fractures after knee arthroplasty.
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two treatment modalities for periprosthetic supracondylar fractures. The results of intramedullary nailing in 7 patients and locked plating in 9 patients were reviewed retrospectively. Mean follow-up was 4.3 years (range : 1 to 13 years). One patient died on the first postoperative day. Union of the fracture was achieved in the other 15 patients, afte...
