Abstract
The number of revision total knee arthroplasty procedures is on the increase, and the modern-day arthroplasty surgeon must be equipped to deal with this growing challenge. Every revision can differ, in terms of the technical challenges encountered. These can include issues with exposure, joint line reconstruction, as well as bone loss and ligament deficiency. A standardized approach to these problems is required to optimize the outcome of surgery. This review aims to provide a simple yet comprehensive approach to dealing with the technical challenges encountered during revision knee arthroplasty.
期刊介绍:
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
