Abstract
Managing very distal femoral periprosthetic fracture above a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a difficult problem. When a cruciate sacrificing TKA is used, bone stock around the implant is compromised and, therefore, can limit fixation options. We present technique using the revision system femoral stem for the PFC Sigma TKA (Depuy; Leeds, England) to stabilize this particular type of fracture.
