Event Description
|
On 28-may-2021, the patient underwent a right total knee arthroplasty including patella resurfacing and use of depuy synthes bone cement.There were no intraoperative complications.On 23-jul-2021, the patient was revised due to symptoms of pain, burning, and instability with xray suggestion that there was likely a poly spinout.Intraoperative findings were that the extensor mechanism was extremely poor at the quadriceps tendon due to the patient recently being operated on.The poly was confirmed to have spun out.All components were removed with exception of the patella and an srom hinged construct was placed.The srom hinge was selected as the patient would have required too large of a poly insert to cause patella baja.There were no further complications noted after the revision.Doi: (b)(6) 2021; dor: july 23, 2021, right knee.
