dc.description.abstractObjective: The number of total knee arthroplasties has increased exponentially and their indications have been expanded. This procedure presents challenging complications for orthopedic surgeons that are potentially catastrophic for patients. Here, a rare case of simultaneous bilateral periprosthetic fracture of the knee is reported, with discussion of the causal factors, possible management and prophylaxis. Objetivo: O número de artroplastias totais do joelho tem aumentado de forma exponencial e suas indicações têm sido ampliadas. O procedimento apresenta complicações desafiadoras ao cirurgião ortopédico e potencialmente catastróficas para o paciente. Os autores relatam um raro caso de fratura periprotética do joelho, bilateral e simultânea e discutem os fatores causais, as possíveis condutas e a profilaxia.
