BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Periprosthetic fracture is a devastating complication of total knee replacement (TKR). Most published studies have not comprehensively assessed clinical and demographic predictors. We wanted to determine the incidence and predictors of postoperative periprosthetic fracture after primary and revision TKR. PATIENTS AND METHODS We used prospectively collected data in the Mayo Clinic Total Joint Registry on all patients who underwent primary or revision TKR at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, from 1989 through 2008. We assessed incidence of postoperative periprosthetic fractures and modifiable (comorbidity, body mass index) and unmodifiable factors (age, sex, operative diagnosis, ASA class, previous cardiac disease, and previous thromboembolic disease) as predictors of postoperative periprosthetic fractures. We used multivariable-adjusted Cox regression analyses separately for primary and revision TKR. RESULTS 12,914 patients underwent 17,633 primary TKRs and 3,286 patients underwent 4,090 revision TKRs during the period 1989-2008. 1.1% of patients (188/17,633) after primary TKR and 2.5% of patients (104/4,090) after revision TKR sustained a postoperative periprosthetic fracture on or after postoperative day 1. Older age was associated with lower risk of periprosthetic fractures after primary TKR (p < 0.001). Compared to ≤ 60 years, risk was lower for ages 61-70 years (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.5, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.3-0.7)) and 71-80 years (HR = 0.6, CI: 0.4-0.8), but not for age > 80 years (HR = 0.9, CI: 0.5-1.6). In revision TKR cohort, a diagnosis of non-union (HR = 4.9, CI: 1.2-20), infection (HR = 2.9, CI: 1.3-6.4) or previous surgery with components removed (HR = 2.1, CI: 1.3-3.4) increased the risk of postoperative periprosthetic fracture, compared to a diagnosis of loosening/wear/osteolysis. INTERPRETATION We identified significant risk factors for periprosthetic fracture after primary and revision TKR. Patients with these risk factors can be informed by their surgeons of increased risk of this uncommon, but serious complication of TKR.

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...

The Use of Dual Reconstruction Plates for Failed Fixation of Patellar Fracture after Total Knee Replacement: A Case Report

Patellar fracture after total knee replacement (TKR) is one of the challenging problems in periprosthetic fracture. Open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF), as tension band wiring (TBW), usually required in cases with extensor mechanism disruption. However, many studies reported a high failure rate after using this technique. In this report, we presented an interesting case of periprosthet...

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...

Prevalence and risk factors for periprosthetic fracture in older recipients of total hip replacement: a cohort study

BACKGROUND The growing utilization of total joint replacement will increase the frequency of its complications, including periprosthetic fracture. The prevalence and risk factors of periprosthetic fracture require further study, particularly over the course of long-term follow-up. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors for periprosthetic fractures occurring ...
