Total Knee Replacement in Klippel-Trenaunay Deasease: An Unusual Case

Abstract

Patients with Klippel-Trenaunay desease develop degenerative joint disease early due to abnormal bone hypertrophy. For various reasons, total knee replacement is particularly challenging for these patients. This is a case report of an arthritic patient with Klippel-Trenaunay deasese who had total knee replacement.

For patients with Klippel-Trenaunay desease, total knee replacement is an effective surgical procedure to treat arthritis. However, some risks must be considered, and appropriate surgical preparation must be undertaken.
