Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing for Periprosthetic Supracondylar Fractures of the Femur after Total Knee Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic supracondylar fractures of the femur after total knee arthroplasty are not common but are usually difficult to treat due to the advanced age of patients and frequently accompanying osteoporosis. Retrograde intramedullary nailing can be effective in promoting healing of these fractures by providing sufficient stability, but the number of beneficiaries is small due to it...
متن کاملSupracondylar Fracture Femur Treated With Intramedullary Nail – A Prospective Study of 20 Cases
Background: Supracondylar fractures are one of the commonest fractures encountered in high velocity trauma which are associated with high morbidity and mortality.Isolated fracture can itself lead to complications such as ARDS and pulmonary embolism.this necessitates early stabilization of fractures.Internal fixation is the choice of treatment in supracondylar fractures(AO type – A).Retrograde s...
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...
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 کاملSupracondylar fracture in a patient with total knee arthroplasty. A case report.
A supracondylar fracture occurred in a 48-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and a total knee arthroplasty. The Rush pin technique required minimal surgical exposure and caused little disruption of surrounding soft tissue and blood supply. Soft tissues preserved inherent stability, allowing early range of motion and partial weight-bearing. Follow-up evaluation seven years later demonstrat...
