摘要
We report the failure of a femoral component in a unicompartmental knee replacement 6 years after implantation. The implant fractured 15 mm from the anterior tip, and scanning electron microscopy confirmed fatigue to be the cause of failure. The clinical and laboratory findings are presented, and the causes and implications of this mode of implant failure are discussed.
