“…These include stabilization with buttress plates, condylar blade-plates, dynamic compression plates, external fixation, intramedullary nailing and revision arthroplasty with and without allograft and massive prostheses [2,3,5,6,9,11,12,16,19,20]. Most of the published series dealing with surgical treatment options present open techniques with utilization of plates.…”

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.Résumé Nous avons réalisé une étude rétrospective comprenant sept fractures periprothetiques complexes du fémur distal chez sept porteurs de PTG. Toutes les fractures ont ete traitees par enclouage rétrograde du fémur. L'evolution post-opératoire et la réeducation à la marche étaient sans particularités chez tous les patients. Toutes les fractures ont consolidés sans problemes avec un bon alignement.

“…In four of the five patients previous treatment had failed: skeletal traction in one and internal fixation in other four patients. They reported union in all five patients between 12 and 16 weeks in a good alignment without any major complications [42]. There are some case reports describing the use of Ilizarov external fixator in patients who were not deemed suitable for conventional treatment for supracondylar periprosthetic fractures.…”

“…Revision arthroplasty (about 5% of all cases) is a possible treatment alternative in certain situations, as with very distal fracturs or component loosening, and excellent results have been reported (91%) [2,5,6]. External fixation has been considered after failed osteosynthesis, with good results at two years [3].…”

In seven patients who sustained eight distal femoral fractures following knee arthroplasty all fractures were treated operatively. Seven with open reduction internal fixation and one with external fixation. Seven of eight fractures had an unsatisfactory result. This was due not only to bone quality and fracture comminution, but also to technical problems and choice of implant. Revision surgery is often required.Résumé Nous avons réalisé une étude rétrospective comprenant huit fractures distales du fémur après mise en place de prothèse du genou chez sept patients. Toutes les fractures ont été traitées chirurgicalement, sept d'entre elles par fixation interne et une par fixation externe. Sept des huit fractures présentaient des résultats non satisfaisants; six ont été repris. Les fractures déplacées ou comminutives du fémur distal après prothèse du genou représentent une pathologie difficile, dont le traitement opératoire est souvent compliqué, non seulement par l'ostéoporose et la comminution de la fracture, mais éga-lement par des problèmes liés aux différentes techniques opératoires et aux types d'implants.
