Management of a tibial periprosthetic fracture following revision knee arthroplasty using a pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation device: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Periprosthetic fractures associated with total knee arthroplasty are rare but present a challenging problem particularly when associated with revision arthroplasty. Fractures around tibial stems are particularly difficult with no accepted technique in their management. This case describes a tibial periprosthetic fracture following a revision knee arthroplasty which was successfully managed with a Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field bone stimulation device. We believe this to be first reported use of a bone stimulation device in this clinical environment.

Periprosthetic fracture of the tibial plateau after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
The authors report three cases of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), complicated with peri-operative periprosthetic fracture of the tibial plateau. The surgical technique was held responsible in all cases. The initial treatment was different in every case; all patients ultimately underwent revision total knee arthroplasty with a good functional outcome. The authors emphasise the importan...
متن کاملPeriprosthetic Fractures Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
Periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty may occur in any part of the femur, tibia and patella, and the most common pattern involves the supracondylar area of the distal femur. Supracondylar periprosthetic fractures frequently occur above a well-fixed prosthesis, and risk factors include anterior femoral cortical notching and use of the rotational constrained implant. Periprosthet...

Total knee arthroplasty, although a very successful surgery, can present the patient with several potential complications, including the risk for periprosthetic fractures. Complications involving periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty can present a complex clinical scenario for orthopedic surgeons. To date, adequate literature exists to guide surgeons in approaching most peripro...

BACKGROUND Conversion of a knee arthrodesis to a Total Knee Arthroplasty is an uncommon procedure. Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty in this setting presents the surgeon with a number of challenges including the management of the extensor mechanism and patella. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a unique case of a 69 years old Caucasian man who underwent a revision Total Knee Arthroplasty using a t...
متن کاملBirmingham Mid-Head Resection Periprosthetic Fracture
Total hip arthroplasty in the young leads to difficult choices in implant selection. Until recently bone conserving options were not available for younger patients with deficient femoral head bone stock. The novel Birmingham Mid-Head Resection (BMHR) device offers the option of bone conserving arthroplasty in spite of deficient femoral head bone stock. Femoral neck fracture is a known complicat...
