Background There is no consensus on the best treatment for periprosthetic supracondylar
fracture. Material and methods We systematically summarized and compared results of …

This study was designed to itemize and analyze the classification of fracture types and their
corresponding outcomes in an attempt to provide a better understanding of the current …

Successful treatment of periprosthetic femur fractures, like all fractures, requires careful
attention to understand the fracture pattern nuances, identifying and executing a rational …

INTRODUCTION: The majority of periprosthetic fractures around the knee occur at the
supracondylar region of the distal femur. Fixation of distal femoral fractures in osteoporotic …

Objectives: To systematically review and compare nonoperative and operative treatments for
the management of periprosthetic distal femur fractures adjacent to total knee arthroplasties …

Demographic changes have resulted in an increase in the number of older patients
diagnosed with degenerative joint disease. Developments in the field of joint arthroplasty …

Fractures of the distal femur, proximal tibia, and patella that occur adjacent to a total knee
replacement may be very difficult to treat. Fixation options are compromised because of the …

Periprosthetic fracture following total knee arthroplasty is a potentially serious complication.
This injury can involve the distal femur, proximal tibia or the patella. This review article …

It is unclear whether there is a limit to the amount of distal bone required to support fixation
of supracondylar periprosthetic femoral fractures. This retrospective multicentre study …

Background and aim of the work: Periprosthetic knee fractures incidence is gradually raising
due to aging of population and increasing of total knee arthroplasties. Management of this …
