Event or Problem Description

It was reported that approximately two months after the patient underwent a unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, they were revised due to pain caused by tibial bone fracture.The surgeon speculates that at the time of the primary procedure, there may have been insufficient reaming of the femur, which possibly led to stress on the tibia causing a fracture.Attempts have been made and no further information has been provided.
