| Popis: |
Metallosis and corrosion have been associated with metal-on-metal and modular total hip arthroplasty but are rarely described in the setting of primary or revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this series, we report on cases of metallosis due to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion at modular junctions of machined trunnion-bore tapers in a revision TKA system with metaphyseal sleeves. The unique design of metal modular junctions used in sleeve-based revision TKA, along with potential patient and surgical factors, may predispose these designs to fretting, corrosion, and adverse reaction to metal debris. We now consider metallosis and corrosion in the workup of painful or failed revision TKAs with sleeves. Future studies that investigate the incidence of this phenomenon may be warranted. |
