    TKA Case Study

    Uploaded by

    Gabrielle Perry
    A 79-year-old male underwent a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis of the right knee. Gross examination of the femoral head showed tan bone with two areas of cartilage damage measuring up to 2.9 x 1.8 cm. Microscopic analysis found changes consistent with degenerative joint disease, including thickened hyaline cartilage, confirming the diagnosis of primary osteoarthritis as the cause for the TKA.
