Periprosthetic supracondylar femur fractures following total knee arthroplasty are infrequent, but challenging to clinicians. In this article, we present a 74-year-old female case of bilateral supracondylar femoral periprosthetic fractures which were treated with locking plates. The fractures were healed with osseous union, the range of motion was 0-110° for each knee, and there was a 6° residual varus deformity in the left knee. The functional results were excellent during two-year follow-up. Open reduction and locking plate fixation are effective treatment methods for periprosthetic supracondylar fractures following total knee arthroplasty in selected patients. If an anterior femoral notching accidentally develops during the intraoperative setting, using a femoral component with an attached intramedullary stem supports weakened distal part of the femur.
全膝关节置换术后股骨髁上假体周围骨折并不常见,但对临床医生来说具有挑战性。在本文中,我们介绍了一例74岁女性双侧股骨髁上假体周围骨折的病例,该病例采用锁定钢板进行治疗。骨折实现了骨愈合,每个膝关节的活动范围为0至110°,左膝有6°的残余内翻畸形。在两年的随访期间,功能结果极佳。切开复位和锁定钢板固定是全膝关节置换术后选定患者股骨髁上假体周围骨折的有效治疗方法。如果术中意外出现股骨前方切迹,使用带有髓内柄的股骨假体可支撑股骨变弱的远端部分。
