BACKGROUND: Total joint replacements provide many benefits to patients but expose them to a variety of possible complications. Revision surgery is demanding and associated to a greater number of risks and possible complications than primary joint replacement. OBJECTIVE: We describe the unsuccessful technique of percutaneous cementing in a loosened revision total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: We report on a 66-year old male patient, admitted to our clinic with a painful left knee, four months after percutaneous cementation without implant exchange of the loosened rotating hinge implant was performed. RESULTS: Although less demanding, for the surgeon and the patient, it resulted in a delayed revision surgery. This attempt at avoiding revision surgery could have led to even further complications. CONCLUSIONS: This case emphasizes the need to avoid novel techniques on patients, with no previous studies and to refer these patients to specialized joint replacement centers for revision surgery. |
