It was reported that a patient underwent a revision total knee arthroplasty.Approximately one year and nine months post-implantation, the patient began to experience pain, instability, immobility and moderate joint effusion.Diagnostic images revealed that the locking bar component of the articular surface had fractured.Subsequently, the patient underwent revision surgery.During the surgery, the knee joint was found to be uncoupled from the connector due to breakage of the locking bolt as well as dorsal dislocation of the articular surface and loosening of the cemented femoral component.The femoral components and articular surface were revised without complication.Due diligence is complete as multiple attempts have been made; all available information has been reported.
