Can Total Knee Replacement Be Done Along With Plate Insertion In Leg?

My mother is 74 and was scheduled for complete knee replacement. She fell and broke her femur. Surgery has been cancelled and the break in her femur has split worse. She goes back to Dr. on Friday if no better the Dr. plans to to put a plate in the leg. Is it possible to do knee at same time? What is recovery time?
