Additional information received: components did not ingrown because of infection.So, technically they were not ¿loose¿ but were not fixed as would have been expected in a non infected joint.The cement was well fixed to bone and the tray.However, once this interface was disrupted, the tibial components were removed easily as the sleeve had not ingrown.Once assembled the 3 tibial components make up the tibia implant imo.
