Knee arthrodesis is an option in the setting of failed total knee arthroplasty. Dual-plate fixation is a described technique to obtain knee fusion in this scenario. Literature on the complications of knee arthrodesis with dual-plate constructs is limited. We present 3 cases who underwent dual-plate knee arthrodesis complicated by peri-implant femur fracture. Keywords: Knee arthrodesis, Knee fusion, Fracture, Failed TKA, Complication
