    AbstractThe mobile meniscal bearing of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is completely free moving, and dislocation of this bearing is a major concern for all mobile-bearing designs. Most dislocations are located in the intracapsular area; however, posterior dislocation of the polyethylene bearing to an extra-articular area of the knee after unicompartmental arthroplasty has not been previously reported. During a revision surgery, separate incision was necessary to remove a dislocated meniscal bearing in the popliteal fossa. The authors present a case of incarceration of a dislocated mobile bearing to the popliteal fossa after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty that was missed during initial diagnosis.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
