Summary
Chronic knee fracture-dislocation is rare but treatable with rotating-hinge total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This salvage procedure restores function and stability in complex cases, offering excellent outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Trauma reconstruction
- Arthroplasty
Background:
- Chronic knee fracture-dislocation is a rare, disabling condition often from neglected trauma.
- Elderly patients with degenerative changes and ligamentous insufficiency are candidates for total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
- TKA can restore alignment, stability, and function in these challenging cases.
