Supracondylar nailing of distal periprosthetic femoral fractures

Weber, D., Pomeroy, D., Schaper, L. et al.

Knee

Seven patients who sustained complex distal femoral fractures above total knee arthroplasties all treated by supracondylar (retrograde) femoral nailing were retrospectively evaluated. All the patients demonstrated uncomplicated postoperative follow-ups and returned to weight bearing between 2 and 3 months after surgery. No delayed healing occurred and alignment of the femur was satisfactory.
