In heavy individuals I would use stems and varus/valgus constraint devise to
1.To decrease stress at the implant cement and bone interphase
2.To avoid stress on the MCL whose delayed ruptures are reported in high BMI individual
3.To ?? reduce anterior subluxation of the tibia in flexion past 70 degrees when the calf and thigh meet and creating an anterior vector ( do we need a anterior and posterior stabilised implant here (food for thougth)
I
used the Exprt
revision knee implant(DJO) with vit E poly insert as this is the only constrained system where Vit E poly is available where in one can hopefully reduce wear
They have a simplified 2 tray revision system which reduces the complexity of revision surgery Iin OR to
reduce errors if the defects are not huge.
