Abstract

The radiographic findings of an osteolytic lesion in the knee may indicate numerous possible impressions. Furthermore, osteolysis is a possible cause if there is a surgical history of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The authors diagnosed osteolysis of the fibular head after aseptic loosening of the tibial component of a cemented TKA in an 83-year-old female patient who visited with right knee pain and report their treatment with revision TKA along with a literature review.
