Bilateral Distal Femoral Flexion Deformity After Total Knee Arthroplasty in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis 在一位患有類風濕性關節炎的病人，進行了兩邊全膝關節置換術後逐漸形成股骨遠端屈曲畸形

Publication date: December 2013 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation, Volume 17, Issue 2 Author(s): Jimmy Chan Chun-Ming , Tun-Hing Lui Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune systemic disease with predominant peripheral polyarthritis, often leading to severe joint destruction. This is a case report of an 81-year-old woman with long-standing severe rheumatoid arthritis requiring multiple orthopaedic operations for joint destruction since 2000. These operated joints improved her functional mobility until recently, when she found that her knees were fixed at around 70° of flexion with limited motion. There was chronic progressive flexion deformity of bilateral distal femurs, which was an extremely rare complication of total knee arthroplasty.
