Patient experienced "sudden onset of pain" in the knee a few weeks ago and was reviewed by doctor.The doctor suspected there was an issue with the insert and elected to do a revision to replace the primary insert (he felt it may be fractured or cracked).Upon opening the knee there was no obvious damage to the insert, and doctor felt the implant was in reasonably good condition in his opinion, but there was some damage to the patella button (cause unknown).There was significant synovitus surrounding the joint.Surgeon debrided the affected tissue and replaced the insert and patella button.No details were available regarding the mechanism that lead to the onset of pain (no mention of fall or other injury given).
