Author information: (1)Mclaren Greater Lansing/ MSU (2)Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Mclaren Greater Lansing Total knee arthroplasty offers an alternative to individuals suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee. The improvements in surgical techniques, pain management, preoperative medical optimization, patient selection, and implant design have allowed primary total knee arthroplasty to be offered to qualifying individuals of varying ages, even to be performed as an outpatient procedure. The need for primary total knee arthroplasty is estimated to increase to nearly three and a half million procedures performed in 2030, a 673% rise compared to 2005. With the advancements in the medical management and applied sciences, individuals are surpassing previously established life expectancies. The increased appeal for total knee arthroplasty has led to a concurrent increase in periprosthetic fractures. Surgical fixation of periprosthetic fractures is one of the most demanding procedures an orthopedic surgeon faces. Careful preoperative preparation and referral to a well-trained surgeon are of utmost importance for a successful outcome.   Copyright © 2026, StatPearls Publishing LLC.
