Femoral component fracture in total knee replacement (TKR) is a rare complication. In the majority of case reports, stress fractures of the femoral component have predominantly affected the medial condyle, following uncemented implantation of fixed-bearing knees. We report the case of fracture of the lateral condyle of a cemented fixed TKR due to bad cementing technique.
