Tibial baseplate fracture following primary total knee arthroplasty is a rare complication, particularly with modern implants and surgical techniques. This case details the first known report of mid-range follow-up catastrophic failure of a cementless modular, trabecular metal tibial baseplate. This failure highlights the importance of continued follow-up for novel implants, to include cementless knee arthroplasty designs, particularly if new symptoms arise or periarticular bone loss is identified on radiograph.

Double-Butter: A Cementation Technique That Significantly Reduces Lipid Contamination of the Tibial Baseplate in Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Arthroplast Today

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA.
Background: Aseptic loosening is the most common aseptic failure modality following total knee arthroplasty. Recent literature suggests that the implant-cement interface is the "weak-link" in fixation and lipid contamination may drive this debonding pattern. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if the "double-butter" technique would significantly decrease lipid contamination of the tibial tray.

Background And Purpose: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), an insert with ball-in-socket (BS) medial conformity (MC) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention restores kinematics closer to native than an insert with intermediate (I) MC. However, high medial conformity might compromise baseplate stability as indicated by maximum total point motion (MTPM). Using the BS MC insert with PCL retention, we aimed to determine whether (i) the baseplate is stable as indicated by mean MTPM < 0.

The thickness of the cement at the tibial bone-implant surface may be related to aseptic tibial loosening. However, to date, no studies have demonstrated a direct association between cement thickness and rates of aseptic tibial loosening.

Introduction: Malrotation of the tibial components in total knee arthroplasties is a common cause of pain and functional impairment. There are multiple methods used to establish the tibial component rotation, but there is still no consensus which method is the best.The objective of this study was to compare two of the most commonly used techniques, that is the use of self-alignment during passive range of motion (free-floating technique) versus the anterior cortex referencing method (Curve-on-curve technique).

Introduction: In 2019, a new fixed-bearing implant for unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) was introduced that incorporated a round-on-flat design featuring an Oxinium femoral component coupled with a highly crosslinked polyethylene bearing surface. Compared to prior implants, the design featured smaller size increments coupled with medial and lateral-specific tibial baseplates. The objective of this study is to describe our institution's early experience with this UKA implant system by evaluating survivorship, reasons for revision, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
