Abstract
Go arthrosis is an orthopedic disease with increasing frequency, for which total knee arthroplasty is applied frequently as surgical treatment. The most commonly observed complications of total knee arthroplasty are wound infection, wrong implant positioning, restricted range of motion in the knee joint, loosening of the components, rupture of the patellar tendon, extensor mechanism dysfunction and periprosthetic fractures. In this case report we present a 48-year-old female who achieved favorable outcome in spite of all the 5 different complications she experienced following total knee arthroplasty.
