Event or Problem Description
It was reported that patient had their lcs primary implanted for medial compartment arthritis.Initial surgery was uneventful but patient underwent manipulation under anaesthesia 12 weeks post op when knee motion then increased 73-120 degrees.This was then revised in 2021 due to mid flexion instability.The revision just involved swapping the poly to 5mm thicker (up to 17.5 mm poly).Within 3 weeks after this she was back to normal.Patient was revised again on (b)(6) 2025, as patient was experiencing more instability which has caused patient to fall many times.Patient reached a point where patient didn't tend to flex the right knee and walks with a stiffer knee gait presumably due to the degree of instability.There were no indications of loosening.This report captures second revision procedure performed on (b)(6) 2025, due to instability while related complaint (b)(4) captures the first revision for tibial insert only which was performed in 2021.
