Right knee pain, right knee genu varum, right knee degenerative arthritis.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
Same.
OPERATIVE PROCEDURE:
Right total knee arthroplasty.
ANESTHESIA:
General endotracheal.
Components Utilized: DePuy total knee system, size 5 posterior stabilized femoral component, size 4 tibial
component, size 17.5-mm thickness tibial articulated surface, size 38-mm round patella.
FINDINGS:
INDICATIONS FOR OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: Mr. Mickland is a pleasant 64-year-old gentleman with
multiple medical comorbidities and is about a year after his primary knee arthroplasty on the left. He has done
well with that. He presents from the right. He has severe varus deformity and no contracture, but again lot of
varus in addition to his tricompartmental degenerative disk disease. We discussed the risks, benefits,
alternatives, and complications involved with knee arthroplasty again. He voiced understanding and elected to
proceed.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: After being identified in the preoperative holding area, I
marked his right lower extremity. He was then brought back to the operating room. He was intubated by the
Anesthesia Service. He was positioned for surgery appropriately. All bony prominences were checked and
padded. The nonoperative extremity was covered with a foot squeezer and a TED hose to prevent DVT. All the
bony prominences checked and padded. His preoperative antibiotics have been administered previously. No
hair removal was required. I placed a nonsterile tourniquet. We then exsanguinated with an Esmarch. An
anterior skin incision was made and a median parapatellar arthrotomy was performed. He was noted to have
severe tricompartmental degenerative changes. I removed his meniscal tissue in addition to his infrapatellar fat
pad. The knee was again noted to have severe varus deformity. I was then able to perform a very large medial
release. I then cannulated the distal femur. I irrigated and suctioned the femoral canal and then placed the
distal femoral alignment guide. We then sized him to 5 after cutting him to 5-degree of valgus. I performed
anterior-posterior chamfer cuts. The distal femoral lug holes were placed as were the trial femoral component. I
then brought the knee through range of motion and noted that we felt severe varus deformity. I then placed
extramedullary tibial guide after removing the trial femoral component. Having done so, the knee was
osteotomized on the tibia. I resected 2 mm of bone off the most worn side, which was obviously the medial
side. He did have a significant amount of medial wear there. The wound was then irrigated. I performed a tibial
osteotomy. Having done so, the tibia was sized out as a 4. He had a significant amount of posterior
osteophyte. I debrided that away as well. Next, the knee was reduced with the aforementioned trial
components. I assessed the axial, coronal, and sagittal alignment as well as limb and component alignment on
the extremity. The native patella tracked nicely. I then removed 8 mm of bone with patellofemoral reaming
system. It was then sized out as a 38. I placed a 38 mm trial button. Having done so, the patellofemoral joint
tracked perfectly. The trial components were removed. I irrigated and suctioned the femoral canal copiously
and the bone ends as well. Antibiotic impregnated cement was utilized. I then cemented in his definitive
components after administering his first postoperative dose of antibiotic. Once the cement had been placed, I
then removed all residual cement debris and noted that the knee had no more residual cement. The trial
polyethylene tibial component was placed. I then reduced the knee, placed multiple lap sponges, held
compression. I let the tourniquet down. Total tourniquet was less than 50 minutes. The cement was allowed to
harden for 5 minutes. I achieved electrocautery hemostasis. The trial component was removed. I then
reinspected the knee. I found no residual cement debris or bone debris. The wound was irrigated 1 final time. I
then placed the definitive poly and then closed over a medium Hemovac drain with number 1 Vicryl for the
retinaculum, 0 and 2-0 Vicryl on the subcutaneous tissues, and then 3-0 nylon horizontal mattress sutures for

skin. Sterile dressings were applied. He was transported to the recovery room on gurney without incident. On
arrival to the recovery room, he had a normal neurovascular exam.
Attestation: I attest I was present for and performed the entire procedure myself. There were no complications.

ATTESTATION
I have seen, personally fully evaluated, and discussed patient with resident Dr. Kuhn. I agree with the objective findings
and agree with the plan of care as documented by the resident with the exceptions noted. The patient is critically ill
with acute resp failure, pneumonia, sepsis, s/p knee replacement. I spent 40 minutes (excluding time spent performing
or supervising any procedures) providing and personally directing critical care services including radiology review,
antibiotic selection, 02 titration, and coordination of care.
64 y/o male with progressive hypoxemic resp failure and pulmonary infiltrates. Radiographically based upon the chest
xray, this looks suspicion for pulmonary edema. However, as this did not improve with aggressive diuresis yesterday and
patient spiked fever w/ leukocytosis (left shift) this AM, we suspect this is likely HCAP. HCAP Abx coverage initiated. With
significant hx of CAD, we will follow cardiac markers as pt is high risk for demand ischemia and related MI. With multiple
comorbidities the patient’s condition is guarded as risk for progression to septic shock remains a concern.
