PS primary femur with stemmed tibial component
SLIDE 8 Complex Revision TKA
- 63 year old female
- History
– Left TKA 1995 now symptomatic, sense of weakness and swelling – Right TKA 1996 asymptomatic – Infection work-up negative
– Left knee: midline incision; effusion; AROM 0° - 120°;

SLIDE 9
SLIDE 10
Left Knee Radiographs
SLIDE 11 What to Do
- Can this knee be treated non-operatively
- If you are thinking surgery:
– Tibial polyethylene exchange
– Convert to PS – Revision to constrained implant
SLIDE 12
Post-op Radiographs
SLIDE 13
Complex Case
62 yo female 1 year following successful TKA falls Presents with painful unstable TKA
SLIDE 14
What to do
1.Place the knee in a brace, suggest crutches for walking and begin physiotherapy 2.Perform a repair of the MCL 3.Release the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and insert a thicker tibial component 4.Perform a revision to a constrained implant 5.Revise to a hinged prosthesis
