Brief Answer:
Improper alignment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached X-ray. The alignment of the knee joint is not maintained and lateral tibial plateau is not properly reduced.
This needs a revision knee surgery or a total knee replacement.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

The alignment is not proper.

I have seen the X-rays of 2nd XXXXXXX also. All the X-rays show that the alignment is not proper. The plates have not been fixed properly. The reduction is not proper.
Hope my answer is helpful.
