Abstract
Femoral component fracture in total knee replacement (TKR) is a rare complication. In the majority of case reports, stress fractures of the femoral component have predominantly affected the medial condyle, following uncemented implantation of fixed-bearing knees. We report the case of fracture of the lateral condyle of a cemented fixed TKR due to bad cementing technique.
Highlights
The failure of total knee prosthetic components is a rare event and has been most commonly reported around the polyethylene insert of tibia or the tibial prosthesis

Summary
The failure of total knee prosthetic components is a rare event and has been most commonly reported around the polyethylene insert of tibia or the tibial prosthesis. Femoral component fracture in total knee replacement (TKR) is a rare complication [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. In the majority of case reports, stress fractures of the femoral component have predominantly affected the medial condyle, following uncemented implantation of fixed-bearing knees.
