OSS Implant Fracture as a Complication of Resection Arthroplasty Performed Following High-energy Knee Injury. Case Study.

This report presents a case of high-energy injury to the distal femur, with a considerable bone defect treated successfully by modular post resection arthroplasty using a Biomet OSS implant. A spontaneous implant fracture occurred nine years after surgery. This complication had not been previously described in the available literature. A re-vision arthroplasty was performed with similar implants, resulting in functional recovery of the limb and patient satisfaction.
