L’osteosintesi nelle fratture periprotesiche di ginocchio: una chirurgia difficile
Abstract
OSTEOSYNTHESIS OF PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURES FOLLOWING TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY: A CHALLENGING SURGERY
The incidence of periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty appears to be on the rise as a result of the
increasing longevity of patients with knee prosthetic implants. The most common pattern involves the supracondylar
area of the distal femur above a well-fixed prosthesis. If a periprosthetic fracture occurs, an appropriate treatment
method should be selected considering different factors.
