Acute, recurrent total knee dislocation: Polyethylene dislocation and malreduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 62-year-old man underwent total knee arthroplasty using a mobile-bearing prosthesis. Four days post-operatively the patient experienced the first of several acute knee dislocations. Closed reduction was performed at an outside hospital a total of three times prior to presentation at this institution. A two-stage exchange of the TKA was recommended due to the clinical suspicion for an infected prosthesis. Upon surgical exploration, it was discovered that the polyethylene insert had spun out completely to 180°. Closed reduction attempts of a posterior dislocation of a mobile-bearing knee prosthesis may contribute to complete 180° spinout of the polyethylene insert.

متن کاملPatellar Dislocation after Total Knee Arthroplasty for Neglected Chronic Post-traumatic Patellar Dislocation: A Case Report
Introduction Chronic post-traumatic dislocation of the patella is rare and results in persistent dislocation throughout the arc of motion of the knee. Whereas newborns with trochlear dysplasia may exhibit congenital patellar dislocation, typical delayed presentation in adults is often due to trauma and can progress to painful motion and secondary osteoarthritis. Although rare, recurrent disloca...
متن کاملA Comparison of Glenohumeral Internal and External Range of Motion and Rotation Strength in Healthy and Individuals with Recurrent Anterior Instability
Background: The glenohumeral joint becomes dislocated more than any other major joint because it maintains a wide range of motion and its stability is inherently weak. The most common complication following acute initial shoulder dislocation is recurrent dislocation or chronic instability. Imbalance of strength and range of motion in individuals with anterior dislocation can be a contributing ...
