Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures. As the incidence of primary TKA continues to increase without any signs of slowing, it is expected that revision TKA will follow suit. While improvements in TKA design and instrumentation have greatly reduced the number of revisions required for polyethylene wear and osteolysis, patients still commonly undergo revision TKA for septic and aseptic issues such as loosening and instability.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures. As the incidence of primary TKA continues to increase without any signs of slowing, it is expected that revision TKA will follow suit. While improvements in TKA design and instrumentation have greatly reduced the number of revisions required for polyethylene wear and osteolysis, patients still commonly undergo revision TKA for septic and aseptic issues such as loosening and instability.
