| Authors: | Robinson Esteves Santos Pires Gustavo Waldolato Egídio Oliveira Santana André Wajnsztejn Pedro José Labronici Vincenzo Giordano |
| Abstract: | Introduction: Calf augmentation is a procedure to enhance leg contour, therefore, providing better aesthetic aspect. Patient satisfaction is extremely high, and reported complications following this procedure are rare.Case Report: The aim of this study is to report an as yet described complication related to calf implants: Prosthesis disruption in a 60-year-old female patient who fell downstairs and presented a closed bicondylar tibial plateau fracture on the right knee (Schatzker V).Conclusion: We believe this case report can alert orthopaedic surgeons to carefully evaluate leg images in traumatized extremities and look for calf augmentation implants, especially in unconscious patients. |
