ABSTRACT
Periprosthetic distal femoral fracture after total knee arthroplasty carries substantial morbidity and mortality regardless of fixation technique. Surgical treatment is favored in most patients compared with conservative therapy because of high rates of nonunion, malunion, and reoperation after casting or bracing. Internal fixation techniques including retrograde intramedullary nailing and locked plating are favored for surgical treatment in most fractures when bone stock in the distal fragment allows for appropriate fixation. In the setting of deficient distal femoral bone stock or femoral component loosening, revision arthroplasty with distal femoral replacement is the favored technique. Further studies with regard to the use of intramedullary nailing, locked plating, and distal femoral replacement are necessary to refine the indications for each technique and to define the use of combinations of these fixation techniques.
