Abstract
Nail plate combination technique can be applied in the setting of periprosthetic and interprosthetic fractures to promote reliable healing with a biomechanically favorable construct. Here, technical aspects and discussion of the technique are reviewed through a case of an 87-year-old woman who suffered from an interprosthetic "floating" total knee arthroplasty (TKA); a supracondylar distal femur fracture in between a total hip arthroplasty and a TKA, with a proximal tibial metaphyseal fracture below the TKA tibial base plate.
