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

With a growing number of patients undergoing total knee replacements globally, coupled
with an elderly population, the incidence of periprosthetic fractures around total knee …

The number of hip or knee arthroplasties, and internal fixations of the proximal and distal
femur, is increasing in proportion to the growing and ageing population, whose life …

Objective Periprosthetic fractures of the distal femur can be challenging injuries to treat;
nonunion rates of up to 22% have been reported. The purpose of this study was to …
