Shortening femoral osteotomy with stemmed resurfacing total knee arthroplasty for severe flexion contracture in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Journal of Orthopaedics 2015 June
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) is a progressive disease characterized by pain, swelling, and loss of motion in the joints of adolescents. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be indicated, during the adolescent years, in patients with advanced JRA to alleviate pain and improve function. Because of the relative infrequency of TKA in patients with JRA, evaluation of the type of TKA performed and the results merit review. This case report present two distinct operations performed to obtain full extension. 1. Distal femoral resection with conversion to hinged arthroplasty. 2. Femoral shortening osteotomy with resurfacing TKA.
