Abstract
Despite the success of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), complications leading to loosening and eventual failure can arise. While infection, instability, and aseptic loosening are some of most common causes of UKA and TKA failure, one of the less common reasons is delayed hypersensitivity reactions. While most allergic reactions are hypersensitivity reactions to metal, hypersensitivity reactions to other materials used in the procedure, such as polymethylmethacrylate bone cement, have begun to gain more attention in recent years. In this case report, we explore the unique instance of a patient who required a revision of a cemented UKA to TKA due to severe pain likely caused by a confirmed polymethylmethacrylate allergy.
期刊介绍：
Arthroplasty Today is a companion journal to the Journal of Arthroplasty. The journal Arthroplasty Today brings together the clinical and scientific foundations for joint replacement of the hip and knee in an open-access, online format. Arthroplasty Today solicits manuscripts of the highest quality from all areas of scientific endeavor that relate to joint replacement or the treatment of its complications, including those dealing with patient outcomes, economic and policy issues, prosthetic design, biomechanics, biomaterials, and biologic response to arthroplasty. The journal focuses on case reports. It is the purpose of Arthroplasty Today to present material to practicing orthopaedic surgeons that will keep them abreast of developments in the field, prove useful in the care of patients, and aid in understanding the scientific foundation of this subspecialty area of joint replacement. The international members of the Editorial Board provide a worldwide perspective for the journal''s area of interest. Their participation ensures that each issue of Arthroplasty Today provides the reader with timely, peer-reviewed articles of the highest quality.
