Bilateral subluxation of the knees secondary to neuroarthropathy: an unusual case.

We describe an unusual case of a 68-year-old woman who developed acute bilateral neuropathic knee joints. The patient presented with a lower respiratory tract infection, loss of power and had altered sensation in her legs. She was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. After improvement of her neurology, the patient was found to have a painful, subluxed knee joints. Conservative treatment was not successful and she underwent bilateral staged constrained rotating platform total knee arthroplasties. 6 months following her most recent total knee arthroplasty, the patient has pain free movements in both her knees and mobilises with a frame.
