Introduction: There are reported thermal injuries after prolonged use of laptops in the literature. Now for the first time, we report on a case, in which thermal injuries secondary to laptop over the scar of total knee arthroplasty. We report a case of a 69-year-old lady with a background history of left total knee replacement, who sustained a first degree thermal burn over the scar and lateral aspect of the thigh of the replaced knee after prolonged use of her laptop. To date this is the only case where a laptop burn happened to a patient after having total knee replacement. Conclusion: This case report highlights the management of such cases and can be used to educate other arthroplasty surgeons how to emphasise to patients about this possible risk associated with prolonged use of laptops in their consultation and consent. Keywords: First degree burns, laptop, total knee replacement.

Introduction: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare complication of total knee replacement (TKR), yet it is a serious and debilitating condition. Bacterial infection accounts for the majority of cases and fungal infection is estimated to cause 1% of all prosthesis infection. Case Report: This case presents a 60years female, who presented to our outpatient orthopedic clinic complaining of right knee pain, swelling, and hotness. The physical examination revealed redness, hotness, restricted range of movement, and tibial loosening, 9 months following TKR revision. Culture of the joint aspirate showed growth of “Candida parapsilosis” and second aspirate confirmed the diagnosis. The patient then underwent two stages revision surgery with placement of amphotericin B loaded cement, to maintain high local antifungal concentration in addition to decrease the side effects of amphotericinB infusion such as thrombophlebitis and the more serious systemic effect as nephrotoxicity. The post-operative course was uneventful, with gradual improvement and restoration of normal movement range. Conclusion: Fungal PJI is a rare complication of TKR, yet it results in severe debilitating symptoms and impairment of the patient functional capacity. Careful evaluation of the patient followed by a detailed workup is necessary for the identification of the underlying causative micro-organism. Two-stage revision surgery with antifungal loaded cement spacer and antifungal therapy currently is the standard of management. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fungal PJI following total knee arthroplasty reported in Jordan. Keywords: Fungal prosthetic joint infection, fungal infection, total knee replacement, total knee replacement complication.
