Question: I recently became an MD but I have a question about the knee!?
I'm doing my first total knee replacement on a geriatric tomorrow and I can't remember how the stemmed tibia plate stays attached to the tibia!. I think there's some kind of a screw in there!. Also, I know I'm supposed to be careful drilling in there because it is so close to the point at which the fibula connects!. Can anyone give me some advice!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
i believe the proper procedure would be to take some krazy glue and apply it right where the stemmed tibia plate is attached!. also be sure to remove all your instruments before you sew the old bastard up!Www@Answer-Health@Com
