Periprosthetic Fracture: Tibia

Presenting

This 64 year old man was kicked by a horse and broke his tibia just below his total knee replacement.

He was initially treated at an outside facility by other physicians with external fixation, but 5 months after his injury he was referred to see Dr. Brinker because the fracture had not healed.

Result After Treatment by Dr. Brinker

This gentleman was treated with a long plate and screws and the bone healed in 4 months. He has no pain and can walk without assistance of any type and has returned to full activity including horseback riding.
