- Abstract
Case: A 64-year-old man presented with unrelenting left knee pain and an unremarkable radiograph 4 months after revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Pain persisted, despite conservative management, and repeat imaging demonstrated significant lysis of the left medial tibial condyle. A biopsy demonstrated metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Management with excision and curettage of the tibial lesion was followed by palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy until the patient died 7 months later., Conclusion: This case highlights metastasis as an etiology for persistent TKA pain in a patient with significant risk factors., Competing Interests: Disclosure: The Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest forms are provided with the online version of the article (http://links.lww.com/JBJSCC/B955)., (Copyright © 2022 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Incorporated.)
