Description
Ter Wee and colleagues test in twenty twenty-three a hidden flaw in scans used to spot loose knee implants. The scan method loads the shin bone from side to side and measures implant shift. But load also bends the bone itself, which could inflate the shift reading and blur the line between loose and fixed implants.
Using donor legs with knee implants, they scanned each leg first loose, then cemented fixed. The bone's top moved notably against its base under load. Shift readings against the whole bone overstated movement for fixed implants. Measuring against the top part of the bone alone cut that error. Telling loose from fixed improved once bone bending was taken into account.
