Postoperative early weight-bearing using double plating for periprosthetic, interprosthetic, and interimplant distal femur fractures following total knee arthroplasty: A report of three cases

Postoperative early weight-bearing using double plating for periprosthetic, interprosthetic, and interimplant distal femur fractures following total knee arthroplasty: A report of three cases
