METHODS: In this case, we describe a dislocation of a primary constrained total knee arthroplasty using the Genesis II (Smith & Nephew, Memphis Tennessee, USA) prosthesis. Without any significant trauma, the constrained insert dislocated fifteen months after surgery and revision surgery with a bigger insert was needed. Surgical error may have been the cause of dislocation, but we were unable to establish a clear reason behind this dislocation.
CONCLUSIONS: Knee dislocation after TKA is rare but easily overlooked and can lead to serious complications and permanent disability. This system should provide stable and mobile knees to correct collateral ligament laxity.
CONCLUSIONS: Here, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of dislocation with a constrained prosthesis without any history of trauma.
