Abstract

Background: The risk of periprosthetic fracture following TKA is particularly high because most of the TKA patients are elderly and also have osteoporosis. The management remains challenging as a result of poor bone stock, pre-existing implant and bone cement that may impede fracture reduction and fixation, predisposing to non-union or malunion . This article is a comprehensive review of Periprosthetic fractures following total knee replacement surgery along with their management algorithms.
Keywords: Total knee arthroplasty, Preprosthetic fracture, Review.
