| Popis: |
Anterolateral bone loss of the femur within the trochlear groove presents a unique and rare issue in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Unlike distal and posterior femur bone loss for which most contemporary TKA systems have modular augments, the same does not exist for anterolateral bone loss. We present a technique in which a patient’s host bone from the standard distal femoral cuts was used to augment and provide a stable base for cementing of final femoral implants. Currently, the patient has 3-year follow-up with excellent results in terms of pain control with no evidence of component failure on the most recent radiographs. This technique provides a simple solution to a complex problem within primary TKA. |
