Abstract: | A supracondylar fracture above a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a devastating complication for both the patient and surgeon. Various methods of treatment are available. We have treated seven cases of displaced supracondylar fractures above a total knee replacement with custom made implants. This technique allows rapid post-operative recovery and gives a good functional outcome. |
