Can a severe fracture of the tibia plateau that was repaired surgically with kevlar stitches due to splintering of the bone cause loosening of the knee replacement?

Yes, a severe fracture of the tibial plateau can potentially lead to complications that may result in the loosening of a knee replacement. The trauma from the fracture and subsequent surgical repair can alter the bone's integrity and alignment, affecting how the knee prosthesis sits and functions. Additionally, if the bone does not heal properly or if there is inadequate stability from the repair, it can further contribute to loosening. Regular follow-up with a healthcare professional is essential to monitor for any signs of complications.
