Abstract
The Lacey Rotating-Hinge (Wright Medical, Arlington, TN) total knee is a constrained device for reconstruction of knees without collateral l igaments or to replace resected bone. Problems have been described wit h hinged total knees such as stem fracture, particulate synovitis, and stem loosening. A different mode of failure is described here. Two ca se histories are provided in which similar fractures occurred in the l ateral condyle of Lacey Rotating-Hinge total knees.
