Description
Summary:Failed primary total knee arthroplasties are becoming more common among a younger, more active patient demographic. Aseptic failures with proximal tibial bone loss, specifically severe posterior tibial collapse, are difficult problems not well described in the literature. There are limited options for reconstructing large defects of the proximal tibia that appropriately restore slope while providing adequate structural support. To our knowledge, this technique to address a large, uncontained posterior proximal tibial defect has not been described in the literature. The purpose of this case report was to detail the surgical technique of how the implementation of cone technology with cementation techniques produced excellent clinical results for a patient with this difficult problem.
