Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, 11/05/09
Norrish AR et al. – The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of periprosthetic fractures above a total knee arthroplasty treated by LISS plate fixation. The primary outcome measure was the radiological union. Secondary outcome measures were knee function using the Oxford Knee Score, and quality of life using the SF–12 questionnaire. Over a 4–year period authors treated 16 supracondylar periprosthetic fractures with a LISS plate in 15 patients. Eleven patients were followed up for an average of 8 months. No statistically significant differences were found in the Oxford knee scores or quality of life scores between the two groups. This data suggest favourable outcomes after LISS plate fixation of supracondylar periprosthetic femoral fractures above total knee replacement.
