    THIS REPORT IS BEING FILED AFTER THE REVIEW OF THE FOLLOWING JOURNAL ARTICLE: TSUNEARI, T., KUBO, T., YUYA, K., NAOKI, Y. KATSUSHI, T., (2022) 3D TEMPLATING AND PATIENT-SPECIFIC INSTRUMENTATION IN PRIMARY TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY WITH RETAINED INTERNAL FIXATION HARDWARE: TWO CASE REPORTS, TRAUMA CASE REPORTS, VOL. 42 (100716), PAGES 2352-6440 (JAPAN). THIS CASE REPORT PRESENTS A CASE OF A 75-YEAR-OLD - WOMAN WHO WAS ADMITTED TO THE KNEE SPORTS TRAUMATOLOGY DEPARTMENTAL CLINIC IN A HOSPITAL DUE TO COMPLAINTS OF CHRONIC PAIN AND KNEE INSTABILITY WHILE WALKING. RADIOGRAPHY REVEALED KELLGREN¿LAWRENCE (KL) GRADE 4 KOA AND A VARUS KNEE DEFORMITY OF 10.3. THE RANGE OF MOTION WAS - 20 DURING EXTENSION AND 110 DURING FLEXION. TEN YEARS BEFORE ADMISSION, SHE HAD UNDERGONE INTERNAL FIXATION WITH LCP DISTAL FEMUR PLATES (DEPUY SYNTHES, SOLOTHURN, SWITZERLAND) AS A TREATMENT FOR AN AO 33-A1 DISTAL FEMORAL FRACTURE. PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF THE PROPHECY EVOLUTION MEDIAL PIVOT PATIENT-SPECIFIC INSTRUMENTED KNEE REPLACEMENT SYSTEMS (MICROPORT ORTHOPEDICS, INC., ARLINGTON, TN) REVEALED THAT AT LEAST THREE DISTAL LOCKING SCREWS NEEDED TO BE REMOVED DURING FEMORAL BONE RESECTION USING A FOUR-IN-ONE CUTTING GUIDE. THEREFORE, PSI-ASSISTED MECHANICALLY ALIGNED (MA)-CRUCIATE RETAINING (CR) TKA WAS PLANNED FOLLOWING PARTIAL SCREW REMOVAL FROM THE LCP. ANOTHER TWO DISTAL LOCKING SCREWS WERE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY HAD BECOME VISIBLE AND MIGHT INTRUDE ON THE FEMORAL COMPONENT. THE DISTAL FEMORAL AND PROXIMAL TIBIAL CUT LINES WERE THEN DEFINED ACCORDING TO PSI PIN LOCATIONS TO GET A RECTANGULAR EXTENSION GAP. THE TRANSEPICONDYLAR AXIS (TEA) OF THE FEMUR WAS 2.0 EXTERNAL FROM THE POSTERIOR CONDYLES. FIRST, AN ADEQUATE FLEXION GAP WAS OBTAINED BY SETTING THE OSTEOTOMY LINE OF THE POSTERIOR CONDYLES PARALLEL TO THE TEA ACCORDING TO THE SIZE SUGGESTION OF THE FEMORAL COMPONENT FROM PSI. THEN, THE 12-MM CR-FIXED BEARING WAS INSERTED AND THE POSTOPERATIVE ROM UNDER ANESTHESIA AFTER INCISION CLOSURE WAS MEASURED TO BE 0 DURING EXTENSION AND 125 DURING FLEXION. DURING A 2-YEAR FOLLOW-UP PERIOD, NO SUPERFICIAL OR DEEP INFECTION WAS OBSERVED, AND HER VISUAL ANALOG SCALE (VAS; BEST: 0, WORST: 100) SCORE AT THE TIME OF WALKING ON EVEN GROUND HAD IMPROVED FROM 71 TO 0, AND HER OXFORD KNEE SCORE (OKS; BEST: 0, WORST: 48) HAD IMPROVED FROM 24 TO 2 AT THE TIME OF THE LATEST FOLLOW-UP. NO RADIOLOGICAL SIGNS OF SUSPECTED COMPONENT LOOSENING WERE OBSERVED. BESIDES, THE PATIENT CAN NOW WALK WITHOUT USING CRUTCHES. A COPY OF THE LITERATURE ARTICLE IS BEING SUBMITTED WITH THIS MEDWATCH. THIS REPORT IS FOR AN UNK - PLATE: LCP DISTAL FEMUR. THIS IS REPORT 1 OF 2 FOR (B)(4).
