Event or Problem Description

|
Der states that the patient presented with anterior pain and mid-flexion instability.Removed tibial insert, femoral and tibial components.Both femoral and tibial components appeared solidly fixed upon gross examination, and required extensive use of osteotomes and mini-saws to loosen for removal.Although the tibial tray showed little cement attachment on the underside upon removal (pictures attached), i cannot tell if that was a result of the use of the osteotomes and saws.The femoral component exhibited signs of cement attachment, although exposure did not allow full exploration of the underside of the femoral implant.Re-implanted size 5 tc-3 femoral with 2 each 4 mm posterior augments, and short cemented stem, mbt with 30 mm cemented stem and 53 mm metaphyseal sleeve, and a 15 mm tc-3 insert.Doi: (b)(6) 2017; dor: (b)(6) 2018; left knee.
