Technique for removal of femoral components with intercondylar articulation in total knee arthroplasty.

Total knee revision arthroplasty is a challenging and demanding procedure. Removal of well-fixed implants must be done meticulously to preserve bone stock. The presence of intercondylar geometries compounds this problem because the cement-metal interface is inaccessible. The authors present a new technique for approaching this region using a high speed metal cutting burr, thus effectively preserving bone stock in the distal femur.
