Description
Walter-Soon-Yaw Wong and four co-authors published a surgical case series in twenty twenty-four on a rare fracture that can follow knee replacement surgery. In femoral condyle insufficiency fractures, weakened bone near the implant cracks without any injury. The team reviewed eight hundred thirty-five knee replacements by one surgeon to find cases and lessons.
Six patients developed the fracture, an incidence higher than earlier reports. All were women with varus deformity, average age seventy-two, and most had thin bones on density scans. Diagnosis came about seventeen days after surgery on average. A hinged brace and twelve weeks of protected weight bearing worked for patients who complied, with pain falling and motion improving over the following year.
