Tibial Post Refracture in Posterior-Stabilized Total Knee Arthroplasty Following Isolated Tibial Insert Exchange.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We report 4 cases with a tibial post refracture following isolated tibial insert exchange in posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty at a single center.

Methods

In our institution, 27 cases (26 patients) underwent reoperation due to tibial post fracture in posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty between July 2008 and November 2020. Of these 27 cases, 4 (4 patients) tibial post refractures occurred at a mean follow-up period of 9.1 years.

Results

All 4 cases of tibial post refracture occurred in a group of 21 cases with isolated tibial insert exchange. There was no tibial post refracture in patients with a tibial revision surgery. The incidence of this complication following isolated tibial insert exchange was 19.0%. The mean elapsed time from tibi
