Abstract

Clinical observation of patient undergone two revisions total knee arthroplasty was presented. The cause of revisions was clinical manifestation of inflammatory but no classic signs of infection were detected intraoperatively. Cupping of inflammatory was succeeded after insertion of implant coating by nitride ceramics. Possible inflammatory development as allergic reaction to cobalt was discussed.
