Abstract

We report a case in which fracture of the metal tibial plate was thought to be caused by a combination of neutral anatomic rotation of the femoral component and an undersized tibial plate. This resulted in medial subsidence and baseplate fracture with loosening of the polyethylene and dislocation of the prosthesis.
