It was reported that a patient had an initial left partial knee arthroplasty performed.Approximately 6-8 weeks postop, the patient underwent an open reduction internal fixation.The initial partial knee implants remained intact.About 2 years later, the patient swung his club while golfing and felt a pop in his knee which gave out.The surgeon told the patient at follow-up that he will need to be converted to a total knee.Further follow up with the patient indicates that a revision to a total knee arthroplasty was performed approximately a month after that.During the revision, bone filler was applied to a periprosthetic fracture.No intraop or further complications have been reported.The patient currently has no complaints with the new knee.No further information has been provided.
