We report the case of a patient with bilateral below-the-knee amputation who had a periprosthetic fracture around a total knee arthroplasty. The fracture was managed with a revision total knee arthroplasty. We discuss the rationale for revision surgery, the surgical techniques, and the postoperative rehabilitation. Follow-up at one year demonstrated maintenance of the pretrauma functional status. In selected patients with a periprosthetic fracture, we believe that revision of a total knee arthroplasty may be considered as an option rather than an above-the-knee amputation or an arthrodesis.
