Abstract:
A 79-year-old female patient had bipolar hemiarthroplasty because of a nonunion of the intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur seven months ago. As she got hurt from slip down during rehabilitation and supracondylar fracture of the ipsilateral femur occurred, she underwent open reduction and internal fixation with angle blade plate. Her walking and daily living were seriously limited because of degenerative arthritis of the right knee joint. She underwent the total knee arthroplasty using computer-assisted navigation without removal of the hard wares inserted in the femur.
