An elderly woman underwent hardware removal and total joint replacement (TJR) of her right knee. Ipsilateral total tip replacement was performed 7 years earlier, and 12 months later, a supracondylar fracture of the index femur was successfully treated by open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of the distal femur with a locking compression plate condylar plate. Hardware removal attempt, prior to the arthroplasty, resulted in fracture of the distal femur. Total knee replacement (TKR) was commenced with temporary reduction and final stabilisation of the femur fracture with a condylar plate. Postoperatively, non-union of the femur fracture developed twice with fatigue failure of the plate fixation device in both instances. Refixation of the femur was performed on both occasions and additional bone healing augmentation measures were performed for each subsequent surgery. Femur union was achieved fourteen months after the last surgery.
