Unusual Failure of Modular TKA Prosthesis and Screw Migration following Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty

Abstract: Introduction: The use of modular implants for revision TKA are ever increasing in number due to their definitive advantage over their monoblock counterparts by providing the surgeon with the versatility needed to achieve equal gaps and manage bone defects. This superiority comes at the cost of certain unique complications attributable to its modular design such as loosening and fractures at the areas of component coupling that are prone to fatigue failure with suboptimal fixation.

“…Many studies on revision TAA report similar constraints, particularly within TAA, 13 but also within other forms of TJA. 4,7,11,16,22,30,33 We used only INBONE II for revision TAA, and although the INBONE II system was not designed specifically for revision TAA, it has been widely used for revision cases.…”

“…The design of the implant used and especially the material used is of great significance. Besides junctional failure of modular implants [76], another possible complication of cementless implants is hardware failure, notably the tibial component. Scully et al [77] and Fokter et al [78] investigated one catastrophic complication involving complete failure of uncemented porous tantalum tibia components in primary knee arthroplasty.…”
