Abstract

Total knee replacement is a common and reliable procedure in the United States. We present a case of a 51-year-old female with an unusual post-operative complication from this procedure. Ingestion of foreign bodies is an uncommon problem in adults with ingestion of dentures being even rarer. While uncommon this situation can lead to serious morbidity in the patients it effects.
