Fratture periprotesiche: la revisione del ginocchio in acuto
Abstract
PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE—ACUTE KNEE REVISION
Periprosthetic fractures are an increasingly common complication following total knee arthroplasty, especially in
geriatric patients. Supracondylar fracture is the most frequent type and it is often linked to femoral notching. The
correct classification of the fracture prompts the surgical decision; however, the loosening of a prosthetic implant needs
revision surgery in the acute setting. The purpose of the treatment includes bone defect reconstruction and the
stability of the implant, to allow for immediate weight-bearing and fast patient rehabilitation.
