Case: An 81-year-old man presented with severe atraumatic knee pain. Sixteen years before, he had undergone a primary cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A radiological study showed osteolysis and loosening of the femoral component. Intraoperatively, a medial femoral condyle fracture was found. A rotating-hinge revision TKA with cemented stems was implanted. Conclusion:Femoral component fracture is extremely rare. Surgeons should remain vigilant with younger and heavier patients with severe unexplained pain. Early revision TKA using cemented, stemmed, and more constrained implants is usually necessary. Full and stable metal-to-bone contact through perfect cuts and a careful cementing technique avoiding debonded areas are recommended to prevent this complication.

Surface Treatment and Bioinspired Coating for 3D-Printed Implants

et al. 2021

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has developed rapidly and demonstrates great potential in biomedical applications. Although 3D printing techniques have good control over the macrostructure of metallic implants, the surface properties have superior control over the tissue response. By focusing on the types of surface treatments, the osseointegration activity of the bone–implant interface is enhanced. Therefore, this review paper aims to discuss the surface functionalities of metallic implants regarding their physical structure, chemical composition, and biological reaction through surface treatment and bioactive coating. The perspective on the current challenges and future directions for development of surface treatment on 3D-printed implants is also presented.
