Fracture of the tibial tray of the PCA knee. A case report of early failure caused by improper design

G Flivik et al. Acta Orthop Scand. 1990 Feb.

Abstract

Knee prostheses with metal backing of the polyethylene tibial component are nowadays used almost universally. Eight cases of fracture of the metal tray are reported in the literature. We present a case in which the failure could be expected because of improper design of the tibial tray.
