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 …

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 …

Background Our purpose was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate
complication and revision rates for periprosthetic distal femur fractures (PPDFF) treated …

Background The incidence of periprosthetic fracture following total knee arthroplasty
continues to rise as the number of knee arthroplasty procedures increases. Management of …

Objective: To compare complications and functional outcomes of treatment with primary
distal femoral replacement (DFR) versus open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Data …

Purpose This meta-analysis was designed to compare clinical outcomes, including knee
scale score and nonunion rate, of patients with periprosthetic supracondylar fractures of the …

Background Supracondylar periprosthetic fractures, when amenable to fixation, can be
treated by either retrograde intramedullary nailing (RIMN) or plating. There is paucity of …

Background Periprosthetic fractures of the distal femur above a total knee arthroplasty (TKA)
have traditionally been managed by locking compression plating (LCP). This technique is …

The incidence of periprosthetic fractures about a TKA is increasing. Traditionally, these
fractures are classified by their location and prosthesis integrity. In the setting of a …

Background Fracture location is an important consideration in managing supracondylar
periprosthetic femur fractures. The outcomes of locked plating and intramedullary (IM) nail …
