Spontaneous dislocation of the polyethylene component following knee revision arthroplasty: case report☆
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dislocation of the polyethylene component in knee arthroplasty is a rare complication. The main triggering factor is failure of the locking mechanism, which may result from technical errors of insertion, trauma or even implant failure. Here, a case of dislocation of the polyethylene component from the tibial base, nine years after revision arthroplasty, is reported. It is believed that this is the first such case reported in the Brazilian literature.

متن کاملEarly failure with massive metallosis and posteromedial wear following atraumatic anterior cruciate ligament rupture after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Severe metallosis following medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is relatively rare. It is usually due to long-standing wear of the polyethylene component, resulting in frictional wear between the femoral and tibial metallic components. Biomechanical and cadaveric studies have shown the effects of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) transection following medial UKA. We describe a case o...
