Event or Problem Description
|
|
Additional information received via operative report stated that the patient was evaluated by the surgeon and presented with significant periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening of their right total knee arthroplasty with associated pain refractory to comprehensive nonoperative management.The operative report further notes that there was severe reactive synovitis and joint effusion consistent with polyethylene wear and component loosening.Additionally, there was significant metalosis.There was no evidence of gross infection.A total synovectomy was performed and fibrotic tissue was removed.On inspection, the femoral component was grossly loose and was easily disimplanted.Notably, there was complete debonding of the femoral component with no evidence of an implant-cement interface.Upon removal of the cement, there were uncontained osteolytic defects involving the medial and lateral femoral condyles which were also thin and unsupportive.The tibial component was found to be loose.The cemented tibial component was explanted without difficulty using instruments to disrupt the implant-cement interface with minimal resultant bone loss.The patellar button was inspected and determined to be loose.As such, the patellar button was removed.The patient emerged from anesthesia and was transferred in stable condition.Additional information received from the facility states the patient was revised due to femoral knee debonding/loosening and polyethylene wear of the left knee joint prosthesis.The insert had no markings but visible fracture damage.
