The Complex Total Knee Arthroplasty Case Reports section of the Orthopedic Surgery Case Reports Journal focuses on challenging clinical scenarios encountered in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This section publishes case reports, case series, and technical notes that address complex primary and revision knee replacements requiring advanced surgical planning and execution.
As an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, the Orthopedic Surgery Case Reports Journal aims to disseminate clinically significant and practice-oriented research that enhances outcomes in complex knee reconstruction. These cases often involve severe deformities, extensive bone loss, ligament imbalance, infection sequelae, and failed prior surgeries, demanding specialized implants and surgical expertise.
This journal page highlights real-world experiences in managing complex TKA cases, including preoperative assessment, implant selection, intraoperative strategies, and postoperative rehabilitation. It provides valuable insights into decision-making for difficult knee arthroplasty cases that fall outside routine practice.
