摘要:Comparison Between Convergent and Bi-Plane X-Ray PhotogrammetrySystems Used to Detect Total Joint LooseningAUTHORS: Frederick G. Lippert, III, H.D., David Green, M.D., Sandor A.Veress, PH.D., Eugene Bahniuk, PH.D., Clive Fraser, PH.D., RichardHarrington, M.S.Arthritic patients severely crippled and in extreme pain can be made towalk again without ambulatory aids, pain free with successful total jointreplacement. The number one complication of total knee replacement isloosening which has been reported to be as high as 25% in long term followup.The early symptom of component loosening is pain on initial weightbearing. Later, x-ray lucency develops at the bone-component interfacefollowed by migration and possible component dislocation. If allowed toprogress to the final stage, bone loss results and reconstruction isextremely difficult. Loose prosthetic components should be identifiedearly when an elective revision can be made.
