Abstract:
The management of periprosthetic fracture following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a challenging problem. Periprosthetic fractures are increased with increasing TKA times,aging,and increased activity after TKA. Periprosthetic fractures after TKA involves the femur,tibia,or patella,in particular at the supracondylar region of the femur. In addition,periprosthetic fractures can also occur in operation. According to fracture morphology,various cause factors,and the timing of fracture,a number of treatment options are available to treat this complex problem. Appropriate fracture classification would assist clinical physicians to evaluate fracture site,type,bone loss and prosthesis fixation. Because of the complexity,periprosthetic fractures often require tailored treatment to attain a more individualized treatment strategy to promote fracture healing,reconstruct bone mass and maintain joint function. Recently,with improving internal fixation materials and surgical techniques,the methods of surgical treatment of periprosthetic fracture have made great progress.
