Fracture of an uncemented tantalum patellar component
A 62-year-old man presented with the acute, atraumatic onset of pain 3 years after uncemented right total knee arthroplasty. He complained of new mechanical locking with the knee held in extension on examination and unable to flex the knee. On the plain radiographs, the patellar component peg was fractured and the plate was dislocated. The knee was immobilized, and revision to a cemented 3-peg ...
متن کاملMid-term wear characteristics of an uncemented acetabular component.
We investigated the rate of polyethylene wear of a cementless acetabular component at different periods of follow-up in order to test the hypothesis than an irrecoverable deformation process (creep) was followed by an initially low, but gradually increasing wear rate. We studied prospectively 93 uncemented total hip arthroplasties in 83 patients (mean age 50 years (22 to 63)) with a mean follow...
متن کاملPatellar Sleeve Fracture
PRESENTATION A 10 year-old male presented to the ED with knee pain after falling off his bicycle. He landed on his flexed knee with an audible “pop.” He could not extend his knee or walk. Physical examination revealed an effusion and high riding patella with a palpable inferior pole defect. He was neurovascularly intact, and the remaining examination of his lower extremity was unremarkable. His...
متن کاملAcute polyethylene fracture in an uncemented acetabular cup.
The smaller acetabular components used in total hip replacement may have a polyethylene liner that is too thin, resulting in higher polyethylene stress and an increased potential for wear. The authors present a case that highlights the problem of acute polyethylene fracture. To compensate for the thinness of the polyethylene, the authors recommend the use of a smaller head size to allow polyeth...
متن کاملPatellar Sleeve Fracture With Ossification of the Patellar Tendon.
Patellar sleeve fractures make up greater than 50% of all patellar fractures. They are essentially only seen in the pediatric population because of the thick periosteum and the distal patellar pole apophysis in this group. These fractures can lead to complications if not treated appropriately and in a timely fashion. Complications of missed or untreated patellar sleeve fractures include patella...
