Arthrographic pseudoloosening of Marmor total knee in hemophilic arthropathy: report of a case.
The interpretation of loosening on the basis of contrast flow about the cement-bone interface in arthrograms of total knee arthroplasties includes special considerations. The first is that arthrography is misleading in the presence of severe cystic changes. The second is that clinical criteria should be given priority before concluding that there is loss of fixation of the prosthesis.
