Periprosthetic tibial fractures in total knee arthroplasty – an outcome analysis of a challenging and underreported surgical issue

Abstract: BackgroundPeriprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are an increasing problem and challenging to treat. The tibial side is commonly less affected than the femoral side wherefore few studies and case reports are available. The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of periprosthetic tibial fractures and compare our data with current literature.MethodsAll periprosthetic tibial TKA fractures that were treated at our Level 1 Trauma Center between 2011 and 2015 were included and analyzed co… Show more

“…With the development of X-ray, CT technique and so on, clinicians can conduct the simple 2D image analysis for the complex and comminuted fractures, but the fracture morphology cannot be reflected intuitively. According to Schreiner et al (13), clinicians are limited by factors such as the angle of the fracture site or overlapping fracture patches and occlusion, which often leads to long operation time, excessive blood loss and uneven joint surface, resulting in high incidence of postoperative complications. Therefore, the simple 2D X-ray examination and CT scan fail to meet the clinical needs of orthopedics.…”

“…Sarcopenia is associated with multiple adverse outcomes, including various diseases such as cardiovascular disease 3,4 , stroke 5 , liver disease 6–8 , pulmonary disease 9 , chronic kidney disease 10,11 , gastrointestinal disorders 12 , malignancy 13 , postoperative morbidity 14,15 , emotional disorders 16 , and all-cause mortality 17 . Therefore, it is essential to determine the prevalence and causes of sarcopenia to improve patients’ outcomes.…”

“…With reference to the current literature, the treatment recommended for periprosthetic tibial fractures after TKA is conservative treatment such as cast-and-brace fixation for cases without fracture dislocation, and the treatment choice for those with dislocation depends on whether or not there is loosening of the artificial joint in addition to the periprosthetic femoral fracture. Although absence of loosening is considered an indication for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), other treatments need to be selected if sufficient fixation cannot be obtained because of the position and size of the keel of the tibial component [ 7 , 10 , 11 ]. In essence, cases with loosening require artificial joint replacement, and ORIF may be added depending on the case.…”
