Instabilty post TKR due to MCL injury

Repeated falls 5 monthspost TKR with mcl laxity and mild recuravtum n a Mobile bearing knee.

Delayd  Progreesive ligamentous laxity of MCL  has been reported with LCS knees in th e past. Was the falls the issue or the ligament the initial trigger is unknown. There was also a hint of ? malrotation with no stiffness

Gross mcl laxity is best adddrssed by a good RHK joint to get 20 to 30 years. Varus/valgus constraints do better with LCL injuries and is less predictable with mcl injuries including repair in TKR

 

Malunited childhood proximal femoral fracture with SUFE and OAhip and valgus knee,anke and degenerate spine

 Type 2 valgus degenerate  spine with painful malunited proximal femur with old SCFE hip,

Lt.  hip was replaced  4 years ago. CT  revealed an eccentric canal at the malunion. 

Planned  and executed plan B with a drill sleeve and k wire  inserted centrally under imaging and end cutting reamers used to get central and by pass the  deformity and a cemented  polished stem  and mobilised .

Periarticular fracture of femur and patella i

 RTA in a pt with  10 year old conservative  treated  tibial fracture with osteopenia

 Attempted fixation by surgeon revealed no hold for  femoral fragments to mobilise, hence early salvage was decided to get him back to  autorickshaw  driving. Distal femoral replacment with circlage wiring of patella and prophylactic stimulan was inserted as the second opening of  type 1 open fracture was done. Started  wt bearing and mobilisation immediately aiming to get him back to work
