<h4>Purpose</h4>To evaluate 1 year mortality, complication rates, and functional outcomes after internal fixation of femoral periprosthetic knee fractures following total knee arthroplasty, and to identify predictors of adverse outcomes and increased healthcare resource utilization.<h4>Methods</h4>This retrospective cohort study included 102 consecutive patients with femoral periprosthetic knee fractures classified as UCPF VB3 and VC3 treated with internal fixation at a single tertiary center between 2010 and 2023. Interprosthetic fractures and combined fixation techniques were excluded. Primary outcomes were 1 year mortality and postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes included length of stay, discharge destination, and ambulatory status at follow up.<h4>Results</h4>Patients were markedly frail, with a mean age of 82.4 ± 10.8 years and mean Charlson Comorbidity Index of 5.6. One year mortality was 16.7% and was associated with older age, higher ASA class, higher Charlson index, impaired pre fracture ambulation, and fracture related infection. Overall complication rate was 29.4%, including 15.7% infections and 13.7% mechanical failures. Open reduction was more frequent in plate fixation and resulted in longer operative times, without increasing complication rates. Median hospital stay was 18 days, 66.3% required discharge to nursing facilities, and only 7.8% regained independent ambulation. Outcomes were worse in patients who developed complications.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Outcomes after internal fixation of femoral periprosthetic knee fractures are driven primarily by patient frailty rather than fixation technique. Functional recovery is limited and resource utilization is substantial, underscoring the need for improved risk stratification and perioperative care pathways.
