Periprosthetic Knee Fractures

Abstract: Fractures of the distal femur, proximal tibia, and patella that occur adjacent to a total knee replacement may be very difficult to treat. Fixation options are compromised because of the short articular segment, frequent comminution, pre-existing osteoporosis, previous surgical incisions, and the presence of the knee implant itself. This review article summarizes current concepts regarding the incidence, classification, treatment options, and outcomes for periprosthetic fractures of the knee.

“…1,13 In many cases, the management of these fractures constitutes a challenging problem for the treating consultant and for the patient. 1,2,14,15 Surgeons treating these injuries must be aware of the complexity and technical demands, requiring an adequate analysis of the fracture etiology and a corresponding transfer into an individual treatment concept.…”

“…36 Most periprosthetic patella fractures after TKA occur within one or two years of the arthroplasty procedure. 36,38 Femoral notching, or violation of the anterior cortex during preparation of the distal femur, has historically been thought to be an important risk factor for periprosthetic distal femur fracture about a TKA component. Culp et al performed a biomechanical analysis of anterior cortical notching.…”

“…Die Patellektomie sollte nur bei Patienten erfolgen, welche einen sehr schlechten Knochen und zahlreiche Fragmente aufweisen. Eine partielle Patellektomie ist der kompletten vorzuziehen [29].…”

“…Es scheint, dass die meisten der periprothetischen Frakturen nach Knie-TEP zwischen ein und zwei Jahren nach dem Eingriff vorkommen und dass nach dieser Zeit das Risiko einer solchen Fraktur sehr viel geringer ist [7,28,29]. Es wurden allerdings auch Frakturen 12 Jahre nach der Implantation der Knieendoprothese beschrieben.…”
