Post-traumatic knee arthritis is a challenging condition. Prosthetic surgery is demanding and the risk of complications is relatively high.
-
Planning is an essential element of this surgery; correct diagnosis (to exclude latent infection) and adequate considerations regarding approach, axis, bone loss, choice of implant and level of constraint are indispensable.
-
There are two main categories of post-traumatic arthritis: extra-articular deformities and articular deformities.
-
Use of an algorithms can support the surgeon’s choice of implant.
-
Correct implant positioning and limb alignment restoration is associated with very good results, similar to those achieved with standard total knee arthroplasty.
