Article information

Fractures around prosthetic knee implants are currently a much debated problem, given the high rates of posterior complications recorded regardless of the treatment employed. This is especially troublesome since it means that the functional result obtained will inevitable be compromised.

A perfect systematization and classification of different fracture patterns will make it possible to make well-founded therapeutic decisions. In addition to the systemic patient-related factors, every case presents other factors, alignment being the most important one.

The types of implants used at present, together with the concept of modularity and the broad therapeutic arsenal available in knee trauma, make it possible to carry out therapeutic planning in a customized way based not only on the patient but also on the fracture type present.

Retrograde nails and the different types of nail-plate fixation play a leading role in the surgical management of these patients. However, orthopedic treatment remains the preferred option on some occasions.

Key words:
knee
arthroplasty
fracture

Las fracturas alrededor de los implantes protésicos de rodilla continúan aún hoy día como objeto de debate, con importantes tasas de complicación posterior independientemente del tratamiento realizado, por lo que el resultado funcional siempre se verá comprometido.

Una perfecta sistematización y clasificación de los diferentes patrones fracturarios permitirá la toma de decisiones terapéuticas al respecto. Aparte de los factores sistémicos del paciente existen otros factores independientes de cada caso, donde la alineación desempeña el papel más importante.

Los tipos de implantes utilizados en la actualidad con el concepto de modularidad y el amplio arsenal terapéutico existente en la traumatología de la rodilla hacen que la planificación terapéutica sea realizada de una forma individualizada desde el tipo de paciente y, por supuesto, desde el tipo de fractura.

Los clavos retrógrados y los distintos tipos de fijación mediante clavo-placa ocupan un lugar preferente y de actualización en el manejo quirúrgico, pero el tratamiento ortopédico continúa presentando la terapéutica de elección en algunas ocasiones.
