RESUMEN
Posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has established itself as a highly effective design for total knee arthroplasty, renowned for its longevity and success. However, a subset of cases, approximately 6-12%, faces early failure, necessitating revision procedures. This case report presents a unique and previously undocumented complication involving a tibial post fracture following hyperflexion of the knee, masked by chronic patellar dislocation. This case highlights the importance of considering polyethylene wear-related failure in cases of instability without an apparent history of trauma. The surgical intervention involved polyethylene insert exchange, patellar debulking, lateral retinacular release, and quadriceps tendon double-breasting.
