In cases of mechanical damage of the Endo model rotating knee prosthesis, it is not necessary to change the complete prosthesis. Isolated replacement of the mechanics is possible. We changed a sled prosthesis of a 66-year-old patient to a rotating knee prosthesis because of ligament instability. After the patient fell and traumatized the operated knee, she experienced pain during weight bearing and instability. Because clinical and fluoroscopic examinations verified instability of the prosthesis, we decided to change the mechanics of the rotating knee prosthesis. In conclusion, mechanical damage of a rotating knee prosthesis is a rare complication. Operative treatment is easy to manage if replacement parts and instruments to change the mechanics have been organized preoperatively.
