It was reported that the patient had poor motion post total knee and some issues with patellar tracking.Joint line had been established by previous surgery before the surgeon had operated on her and the tibia was unable to be removed so he chose to revise the femoral side to reduce the tension in her joint.Femoral side implants were removed and the bone was prepared and new implants were placed slightly more proximal allowing better motion and less tension on the lateral retinacular structures.No instruments were broken nor patient harm occurred.New pin from new femoral component was utilized.Doi: (b)(6) 2023.Dor: (b)(6) 2023.Affected side: right knee.
