Stress Fracture of the Lateral Femoral Condyle afterTotal Knee Arthroplasty
Authors
Abstract:
Background: This is to assess one of the rare complications after total knee replacement and to assess risk factors of failure.Methods: 11 patients with varus knee and an average age of 67 years underwent TKA between 2005 and 2013. All patients returned with a sudden sharp knee pain, disability to walk and significant decrease in ROM about 4 to 8 weeks after surgery. Radiographic examination revealed a lateral femoral condylar stress fracture.Results: After analyzing the images, we found common characteristics among all patients, which might be attributable to the later fracture including varus deformity>25, femoral component lateralization, and valgus correction.Conclusion: Surgeons should be aware of the risk factors to consider before, during, and after surgery.

full textRadiographic Measurement of Femoral Lateral Bowing and Distal Femoral Condyle Resection Thickness: Variances and Effects on Total Knee Arthroplasty Planning
BACKGROUND Accurate evaluation of the plain radiography of lower limb is critical for preoperative planning of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We aimed to investigate the effect of femoral lateral bowing and rotation on the radiographic measurements of distal femoral condyle resection thickness (DRT) and the distal femoral resection valgus angle (FVA). METHODS We analyzed 246 three-dimensional...
full textHoffa Fracture of the Femoral Condyle
In this report, we present a case of an uncommon coronal fracture of the femoral condyle, known as a Hoffa fracture. Classification of these injuries and commonly associated injuries are discussed. We describe previously proposed mechanisms of injury and review the current literature. The difficulty in establishing radiologic diagnosis on the basis of radiography exclusively is emphasized. Fina...
full textCoronal fractures of the lateral femoral condyle.
We reviewed seven patients with coronal fractures of the lateral femoral condyle and studied the mechanism of injury and the radiological features. The influence of soft tissue attachments on the displacement and the blood supply were investigated by clinical and cadaveric studies. All three fractures which were initially undisplaced lost position early during conservative management. Internal ...
full textThe Effect of Sagittal Femoral Bowing on the Femoral Component Position in Total Knee Arthroplasty
Background: In the current study, we investigated that how sagittal femoral bowing can affect the sagittal alignment ofthe femoral component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods: There were 25 patients underwent TKA. Long leg radiography in lateral view was performed. The sagittalfemoral bowing (SFB) and component alignment in relation to the sagittal mechanical axis and distal anterior cor...
