73 years old gentleman with advanced osteoarthritis knee came to us with complaints of pain and swelling since 6 months. He is unable to walk or stand. On Clinical examination he had severe varus deformity left knee and restricted range of motion was noticed. Preoperative X-Ray showed arthritic of knee joint with varus deformity and large medial tibial defect. These complex deformities need meticulous surgical planning in terms of bone cuts, defects management and ligaments balancing with revision constrained knee prosthesis.
The patient underwent total knee replacement surgery with constrained prosthesis and bone defect augmentation with wedge.
Post-operative X-Ray shows well balanced knee with constrained prosthesis (LCCK) with stemmed components and medial wedge (tibial side) to augment the defect. Now patient is comfortable and walking with support.
54 years old lady a case of rheumatoid arthritis came with pain and severe valgus deformities of both knees. She also had involvement of small joints of hand and feet.
Preoperative X-Rays showed bilateral valgus deformities with severe osteoporosis. These cases require meticulous preoperative planning for correct femoral and tibial component placement.
After appropriate ligament balance this case was managed with semiconstrained primary knee prosthesis with stem extension on tibial side to prevent implant subsidence because of osteoporosis.
Post op X-Rays show well aligned bilateral semiconstrained knee prosthesis with tibial stem extension. Patient is walking comfortably with walker.
57 years old gentleman came with complaints of pain in both hips and difficulty in walking and doing daily routine activities for the past 5yrs. On Clinical examination all movements of hip were restricted and painful.
Preoperative xray showed arthritic (damaged) bilateral hip with avascular necrosis. We planned for bilateral hip replacement. These cases require meticulous preoperative and intraoperative planning to avoid limb length discrepancy with exact similar surgical procedure at both sides.
Postoperative X-Ray showed uncemeted hip replacement with equal limb length. Now patient is walking comfortably with walker.
59 years old gentleman presented with complaints of pain in left hip and inability to bear full weight over left lower limb for the past 6 months. Patient had undergone fixation of the left hip fracture with dynamic hip screw and plate 1 year ago.
On Clinical examination there was shortening of 3 cm with local skin condition was normal. Infection markers were negative. Preoperative x-ray showed failed previous implant with avascular femoral head.
We removed the previous implant and converted this hip into Total Hip Replacement. Post operative x-ray shows uncemented THR. Now this patient is comfortable and the shortening of the leg has been corrected.
47 years old gentleman presented with complaints of pain in left hip and inability to bear weight over left lower limb. There was shortening of left limb of about 4 cm. Patient had history of residual post-polio paralysis of left upper limb and left lower limb but patient used to walk without support. He had sustained fracture of the left hip 6 month ago which was fixed with screws. Pre-op x-ray showed ununited fracture neck of femur with failed osteosynthesis. Thus patient was planned for hip replacement to overcome the limb length discrepancy and non-union neck of femur. As patient had post polio residual paralysis dual mobility hip replacement surgery was done to enhance the stability of hip joint. Post operative x-ray showed dual mobility hip replacement. Now patient is walking comfortably with walker and leg shortening has been corrected.
