Per a report from the legal department, the patient had an initial right knee implanted.The patient had two revisions of the right knee.Op report pre & post op diagnosis: failed total right knee replacement.Indications: patient had severe pain due to failed aseptic loosening of total right knee replacement.Pt has failed conservative treatment and wished to undergo operative intervention.Risks, benefits, and alternatives discussed with patient.Despite potential risks, they wished to proceed with the operative intervention.Intraoperative findings: loose femoral implant - removed easily with minimal bone loss but concerned for bone quality distal femur.I elected to sue femoral cone.Tibial implant was very solid and well fixed - backslap device and osteotomes were used but stem would not budge - cortical window distal to the stem allowed me to hit the stem tip and knock it out retrograde.
