Abstract

A thickened soft tissue impingement after total knee replacement arthroplastyis a complication that causes pain and is usually developed between patella and femoral component such as patellar clunk syndrome. But we experienced a case that medial and lateral synovial tissues were impinged between femoral component and polyethylene liner after total knee replacement arthroplasty with medial pivot prosthesis for degenerative arthritis and were treated with arthroscopic excision. We report this case with literature review.
