Calf augmentation is a procedure to enhance leg contour, therefore, providing better aesthetic aspect. Patient satisfaction is extremely high, and reported complications following this procedure are rare.
The aim of this study is to report an as yet described complication related to calf implants: Prosthesis disruption in a 60-year-old female patient who fell downstairs and presented a closed bicondylar tibial plateau fracture on the right knee (Schatzker V).
We believe this case report can alert orthopaedic surgeons to carefully evaluate leg images in traumatized extremities and look for calf augmentation implants, especially in unconscious patients.
小腿增大术是一种用于改善腿部轮廓的手术,从而提供更好的美观效果。患者满意度极高,并且该手术后报告的并发症很少见。
本研究的目的是报告一种尚未描述过的与小腿植入物相关的并发症:一名60岁女性患者,她从楼梯上摔下,右膝出现闭合性双髁胫骨平台骨折(Schatzker V型),其小腿植入物破裂。
我们认为本病例报告可提醒骨科医生仔细评估受伤肢体的腿部影像,并查找小腿增大植入物,尤其是在无意识患者中。
