Supracondylar nailing of sistal femoral fractures after total knee arthroplasty

Description: We present results of supracondylar nailing in six patients who suffered distal femoral fractures above total knee arthroplasty. The average age of patients was 68 (42-92) years. All six fractures healed in a satisfactory alignment in an average duration of 14.6 weeks. There were no wound infection, loss of reduction or implant failure. All patients had regained their previous range of movement of the knee joint at an average follow up of 20 months. Supracondylar nailing is a good method of treatment of a displaced periprosthetic fractures proximal to total knee arthroplasty.
