Medial tibial “spackling” to lessen chronic medial tibial soft tissue irritation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a unique, utilitarian reconstructive treatment option known as tibial "spackling" for chronic, localized medial joint line pain corresponding with progressive radiographic peripheral medial tibial bone loss beneath a well-fixed revision total knee arthroplasty tibial baseplate. It is believed that this localized pain is due to chronic irritation of the medial capsule and collateral ligament from the prominent medial edge of the tibial component. In the setting of failed nonoperative treatment, our experience with utilizing bone cement to reconstruct the medial tibial bone defect and create a smooth medial tibial surface has been successful in eliminating chronic medial soft tissue irritation.

Tibial Component Overhang Greater than 2 mm Should Be Avoided in Unicompartmental Knee Replacements: An In Vitro Robotic Study
INTRODUCTION: Tibial implant overhang has been identified as a possible problem in unicompartmental knee replacements (UKR) and to some degree in total knee replacements (TKR). The idea of an optimally placed tibial implant is that the implant would be well supported by the cortical rim of the proximal tibia without overhanging. Overhang on the medial side can cause irritation of soft tissues a...

Introduction: Medial tibial stress syndrome is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries among soldiers. However, there has not been a detailed report on the effect of risk-factors on its occurrence including the distribution of plantar pressure in military personnel and different communities. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of plantar pressure dist...

Sometimes, because of lack of proper coverage of distal fractured legs, these fractures cause loss of the skin and expose the distal Tibial bones on the medial sides. In such situations, there are two ways for the soft tissue reconstruction: 1. Cross leg flaps and 2. using free flap with microvascular anastomosis. In the present article a case of free Gracilis flap transfer for reconstruction o...
متن کاملClinical applications of free medial tibial flap with posterior tibial artery for head and neck reconstruction after tumor resection
Tumor resection causes damage in the head and neck which creates problems in swallowing, chewing, articulation, and vision, all of which seriously affect patients' quality of life. In this work, we evaluated the application of a free medial tibial flap in reconstruction of head and neck defects after tumor resection. We discussed the anatomy, surgical technique, and the advantages and disadvant...
