Treatment of Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures above a Total Knee Arthroplasty

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of the Distal Femur

DEFINITION Distal femur fractures are difficult, complex injuries that can result in devastating outcomes. The distal part of the femur is considered the most distal 9 to 15 cm of the femur and can involve the articular surface. The intra-articular injury can vary from a simple split to

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of the Patella

Antegrade Intramedullary Nailing of the Femur

DEFINITION A femoral shaft fracture is any fracture of the femoral diaphysis from 5 cm below the lesser trochanter to within 6 to 8 cm of the distal femoral articular surface. Some fracture lines extend proximal or distal to the shaft and are therefore not considered shaft fractures. This

Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing of the Femur

DEFINITION Retrograde femoral nailing can be defined as any femoral nailing technique with a distal entry from the condyles or through an intercondylar, intra-articular starting point. For this chapter, retrograde femoral nailing will refer to nails with an intercondylar starting

Fixation of Periprosthetic Fractures Above Total Knee Arthroplasty

DEFINITION Fractures that occur above or around the femoral component of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The rates of periprosthetic fractures for TKA vary. The incidence is reported to be 0.3% to 5.5% after primary TKA and up to 30% after revision
