Event Description

This pi is for a second revision surgery the patient underwent on 07 feb 2017 due to baseplate/tibial stem loosening.Excerpt from medical review: "loosening of the triathlon baseplate with associated stem extender was confirmed while femoral and patellar components proved to be well fixed and were as such retained." ¿the use of a relatively short 50-mm stem extender below an augment in a proximal tibial bone defect condition did not provide adequate stability to the newly implanted baseplate during the previous revision with excessive micromotion in the implant-bone interface resulting in early loosening requiring a second revision within short interval.".
