Article Synopsis
- A small but notable number of total knee replacements experience a problem called aseptic loosening, which isn't usually caused by polyethylene debris.
- Although allergic reactions to polymethylmethacrylate bone cement are rare, they can lead to significant issues like inflammation, pain, and loosening of the knee replacement.
- A specific case is discussed where a patient suffered severe pain after knee surgery due to hypersensitivity to benzoyl peroxide, a component of the bone cement used.
