Abstract
Abstract Periprosthetic fractures complicating total knee arthroplasty (TKA) occur in rare cases. However, the rate of TKA continues to rise. Given the increase in demand, orthopedists, more than ever, will be responsible for evaluating and treating these fractures. In order to properly treat periprosthetic fractures, a level of comfort with the basic principles on this topic is critical. This article will discuss fractures affecting the femoral, tibial and patellar components along with the respective classification systems. The potential patient risk factors and post-operative rehabilitation guidelines are also discussed.
