Fabellar joint causing pain after total knee replacement.
نویسنده
چکیده
Case report. A 68-year-old man presented in October 1988 with a four-year history of increasing pain in the right knee. The clinical and radiological signs were consistent with osteoarthritis and the symptoms did not respond to conservative measures. In January 1989 a cemented press-fit condylar (PFC) total knee replacement (Johnson & Johnson, Brunswick, New Jersey) was performed. The patient progressed uneventfully and achieved 100#{176} flexion of the knee. However, three months postoperatively he complained of pain behind the knee. A hard lump could be palpated in the lateral aspect of the popliteal fossa and pressure on the lump during flexion and extension caused increased pain. The pain persisted and radiographs, taken at seven months, showed that the fabellar articular surface was parallel to the posterior condyle ofthe prosthesis (Fig. 1). Manipulation under image intensification confirmed

The knee range of motion is an important outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). According to previous studies, the knee range of motion temporarily decreases for approximately 1 month after TKA due to postoperative pain and quadriceps dysfunction following surgical invasion into the knee extensor mechanism. We describe our experience with a knee-extension training program based on a single-j...
