Article Synopsis
- Iatrogenic dural tears, which involve leaks of cerebrospinal fluid, occurred in about 3.9% of lumbar surgeries, with incidence rates between 3-16% noted in earlier literature.
- The study analyzed records for 634 patients who underwent lumbar surgery, finding that the risk of dural tears was higher in secondary surgeries (7.9%) compared to primary surgeries (3.3%).
- Patients with dural tears were generally older (average age of 65.9) and experienced longer surgeries (72 minutes) and longer hospital stays (1.1 days more) compared to those without tears.
A case of a fractured polyethylene stabilizing insert causing secondary knee instability in a Dual-articular total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is presented. A 65-year-old woman who underwent surgery with a Dual-articular TKA 4 years earlier had a well-functioning prosthesis until a fall, after which she began complaining of an intermittent, audible clicking; pain; and instability. At surgery, a fractured polyethylene peg was discovered, and the tibial insert was replaced.
