Abstract:
In discussing revision arthroplasty, understanding the failure mode is essential to success. In general there are five major categories that one must address in assessing the failed knee replacement: Infection, mechanical problems, extensor mechanism dysfunction, fractures adjacent to the components, and skin problems. These five areas are discussed in this article.
