| Popis: | We present the case of a 96-year-old patient treated for severe osteoarthritis with primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a rotational prosthesis. The patient had significant medical comorbidities and her independence was limited due to her severe functional immobility. This case demonstrates that TKA can be a safe procedure with good outcomes in nonagenarians with severe osteoarthritis. Thorough discussion of treatment options is crucial for elderly patients with multiple medical comorbidities. TKA in the nonagenarian population can restore function and independence for patients which may reduce the burden on social care. |
