J Orthop Trauma. Indications Generally, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is performed for destruction of joint cartilage either from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis/inflammatory arthritis, posttraumatic degenerative joint disease, or osteonecrosis/joint collapse with cartilage destruction. The workhorse open surgical approach to the knee is the medial parapatellar approach; however, arthroscopic irrigation and debridement (I&D) should be considered in the setting of small puncture wounds (e.g., gunshot wounds). Exam is notable for a deep laceration slightly inferior and lateral to his left patella.
