We present a case of late onset, bearing wear-induced failure of locking mechanism, resulting in bearing dislocation and rapidly progressive severe metallosis in a medial fixed-bearing (FB) unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).
Bearing dislocation is a rare complication of chronic wear in FB UKA, and early recognition is essential to prevent metallic component articulation-induced metallosis and catastrophic failure.
我们报告了一例迟发性病例,由于锁合机制磨损导致轴承脱位,在固定平台(FB)单间膝关节置换(UKA)中迅速出现严重的金属磨损。
轴承脱位是 FB UKA 慢性磨损的罕见并发症,早期识别对于防止金属部件接触引起的金属磨损和灾难性故障至关重要。
