Revision knee arthroplasty presents a number of challenges, not least of which is obtaining
solid primary fixation of implants into host bone. Three anatomical zones exist within both …

With an expected increase in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures, revision TKA (rTKA)
procedures continue to be a burden on the United States health care system. The evolution …

Background Revision surgery for failed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continues to pose a
substantial burden for the United States healthcare system. The predominant etiology of TKA …

Background Although large series from national joint registries may accurately reflect
indications for revision TKAs, they may lack the granularity to detect the true incidence and …

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a cost effective and extremely successful operation. As
longevity increases, the demand for primary TKA will continue to rise. The success and …

Background Infection remains a leading cause of failure of hip and knee replacements.
Infection burden is the ratio of implants revised for infection to the total number of …

Background: The present study was designed to clarify which underlying indications can be
currently considered the main reasons for failure after total knee arthroplasty as a function of …

Aims It is unknown whether kinematic alignment (KA) objectively improves knee balance in
total knee arthroplasty (TKA), despite this being the biomechanical rationale for its use. This …

Background We sought is to determine the mechanism of failure among primary total knee
arthroplasties (TKAs) performed at a single high-volume institution by asking the following …

Background Revisions after knee arthroplasty are expected to increase, and the
epidemiology of failure mechanisms is changing as new implants, technology, and surgical …
