Evaluation of the Early-Mid-Term Results of Isolated Tibial Insert Exchange After Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the early and mid-term results of patients who had undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and then underwent an isolated tibial insert exchange due to tibial insert fracture and/or melting.
