Stem requirements of tibial augmentations in total knee arthroplasty
Abstract
Various tibial augmentations have been employed to overcome the problem associated with proximal tibial bony deficiencies mainly in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It has generally been recommended that stem extensions should always be applied to the tibial tray in the event that block augments have been used to compensate for bone loss. The rationale for such routine use of stems has not been clearly established and further this adds …
