Abstract :
Dislocation of meniscal bearing insert is a rare but wellrecognised complication in meniscal bearing
unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). On the other hand, fracture of meniscal bearing insert of phase III Oxford UKA has only been reported once in the current literature.
The authors report a case of fracture and posterior
dislocation of one of the fragments of the meniscal bearing
insert in a mobile bearing medial UKA. The fracture was
only diagnosed during the revision surgery. The posteriorly dislodged fragment was subsequently retrieved through the same skin incision and a new polyethylene insert of the same size was implanted.
