Now in a fully revised and updated third edition, this comprehensive text covers all aspects of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA), complete with step-by-step descriptions of surgical techniques. Sensibly divided into four thematic sections, part I discusses evaluation and diagnosis of the failed TKA, including imaging, updates on implant bearings, and rationale for reoperation. General principles of revision surgery are presented in part II, addressing skin and extensile exposure, component removal, allografts, metaphyseal sleeves and cones, femoral and tibial alignment, and restoration of stability. Part III presents the many special considerations that come into play with revision TKA, including periprosthetic fracture, infection, stiffness and other post-operative complications and complexities. The role of arthrodesis and the economics of revision TKA are also elucidated. A final, brand new section describes cutting edge topics for TKA in the near future, such as patient specific 3D implants, the use of robotics, and sensor and digital technology.

Utilizing the most current evidence and generously illustrated, orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, residents and fellows alike will find Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty, Third Edition a thorough and informative resource when treating the patient following knee replacement surgery.
