The benefit of revision knee arthroplasty for component malrotation after primary total knee replacement

Abstract: Purpose Revision surgery for component malrotation in the painful TKA is a relatively novel indication. The purpose of this study was to assess the benefit of revision TKA for component malrotation with regard to the clinical and functional outcomes. Methods Our retrospective case-control study included 51 patients who underwent revision surgery for malrotation with mean follow up of 42 months. They were equally matched to patients who had surgery for aseptic loosening. Results Knee society scores improved fro… Show more

“…According to the literature, our outcomes are very similar to those published [9,18,20,22,23]. While our mean clinical KSS was 63.85 ± 20.71, our mean functional KSS was 68.24±24.95.…”

“…Apart from infections, the principal causes of revision TKA failure are wear, aseptic loosening [9] and instability due to the inappropriate choice of revision implant constraint [6,10]. In fact, one of the greatest challenges during revision TKA is the management of the ligamentous instability affecting both the function and final survival of the knee joint reconstruction [5,11].…”
