Official Title: Evaluation of the Management of Periprosthetic Distal Femur Fractures and Native Knee Distal Femur Fractures, Comparing Open Reduction Internal Fixation With Distal Femur Replacement, a Prospective Co

Brief Summary: Supracondylar femur periprosthetic fractures about a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are a catastrophic and challenging complication of TKA and unfortunately are increasing in incidence.Fixation of these fractures can be challenging due to altered anatomy for the TKA and the presence of the metallic femoral component and have a relatively high complication rate.As a result, some surgeons elect to treat these fractures with a distal femur replacement total knee arthroplasty (DFR).The purpose of this study is to…
