Abstract
We report 3 cases of metal-backed patellar component failure of the Microloc® total condylar knee, which was implanted in 51 cases. The main reason for failure was the design of the patellar and femoral components in combination with flexion of more than 100°.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
