Table 2
Classification of Tibial and Femoral Bone Loss [8].
Type
Type of Bone Loss
Description
(1)
No notable loss of bone stock
There may be erosion of the endosteal bone, but no involvement of the cortex. There has been no migration of the primary component, and bone is largely intact.
(2)
Contained loss of bone stock with cortical thinning
The canal is widened, but there is still an intact cortical sleeve.
(3)
Uncontained (segmental) loss of bone stock involving <50% of medial and/or lateral condyle
Uncontained bone loss represents less than 50% of medial and/or lateral femoral and/or tibial condyle and is less than 15 mm in depth.
(4)
Uncontained (segmental) loss of bone stock >50% of medial and/or lateral condyle
Uncontained bone loss represents more than 50% of medial and/or lateral femoral and/or tibial condyle and is more than 15 mm in depth.
