An unusual way of intramedullar fixation after a periprosthetic supracondylar femur fracture.

Periprosthetic supracondylar femoral fractures after a total knee arthroplasty are difficult surgical problems. We report a case of an 84-year-old woman with an osteoporotic fracture that was not deemed amenable to conventional treatment. In this case, a complete consolidation was achieved by using a proximal femur nail antirotation nail upside down and through the fracture for fixation.
