Abstract
We report two cases in which fracture of the tibial metal tray was thought to be due to improper design of the tray and heavy polyethylene wear. The bone beneath the fractured portion of the tray was deficient and had been replaced by granulomatous fibrous tissue including numerous polyethylene wear particles and foreign-body giant cells. Osteolysis occurred as a tissue reaction to these particles.Entities:
