Abstract
In the appropriate patient and fracture pattern, Endoprosthetic knee replacement is an excellent option in the treatment of distal femoral fractures whether associated with an existing TKR or not. The implant is more costly than traditional open reduction and internal fixation, but the earlier return to full mobility post-operatively may save on hospital/care home stay and free up hospital space and minimise complications.
