Allegedly, rep attended case & surgeon noted it went very well.All ligament etc were intact and everything felt good.Somewhere between recovery and the ward, with local anesthetic still in the knee, the patient tried to weight bear and the knee dislocated, as shown in the attached x-ray.It was reduced under x-ray and was still incredible stable.Unfortunately the following day, due to the initial stretching/trauma, the knee dislocated again.Surgeon revised with a new, thick 17mm poly.Knee was more stable but not perfect, despite some additional ligament balancing.Njrr report will detail: dislocation with revision of poly.
