Event or Problem Description
|
|
Revision completed secondary to thigh pain.No evidence of infection or loosening.Surgeon suspected the pain may be being generated from a large femoral press fit stem.After discussions with the patient, the decision was made to do a femoral only revision - plan a being to revise the femoral sleeve to a larger size and reduce the femoral stem diameter.Plan b would be either an s-rom hinge or lps distal femoral replacement depending on bone quality following removal of the current attune revision femoral components.The removal process was not simple as the initial components were well fixed, and as a result there was a complete fracture of the lateral distal femoral condyle as well as significant metaphyseal bone loss of the distal femur whilst attempting to remove the well fixed sleeve and stem.Palacos bone cement was used in all procedures.Plan b was actioned and a lps distal femoral replacement was performed.
