Polyethylene Insert Wear Leading to Early Aseptic Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty Failure: Case Report

Although aseptic TKA failure due to polyethylene wear is an uncommon finding. Our case of the 69-year-old male with bilateral arthroplasty failure highlights the significance of the durability of polyethylene along with its wear and fracture resistance. It demonstrates that timely intervention with revision arthroplasty drastically improves pain, mobility, joint stability, and overall quality of life in these patients.

Abstract

Although aseptic TKA failure due to polyethylene wear is an uncommon finding. Our case of the 69-year-old male with bilateral arthroplasty failure highlights the significance of the durability of polyethylene along with its wear and fracture resistance. It demonstrates that timely intervention with revision arthroplasty drastically improves pain, mobility, joint stability, and overall quality of life in these patients.
