Management of a Complex Supracondylar Periprosthetic Femur Fracture with Intramedullary Strut Allograft and Bilateral Locking Plates

Supracondylar periprosthetic femoral fractures occurring above total knee replacements have been considered a rare entity. However, they continue to increase in frequency with the increasing number of arthroplasties and the improvement in morbidity and mortality in the concerned patient population....
