Total knee replacements (TKRs) are very successful procedures, but they eventually wear out and sometimes complications may develop, requiring a further operation – revision knee replacement. A revision or ‘re-do’ total knee replacement procedure involves the removal of the existing TKR and its replacement with new components.
This book presents orthopaedic surgeons with the latest developments, current indications and critical issues in revision knee arthroplasty, providing in depth discussion on surgical reconstruction of the knee and basic knee joint deformities.
Part of the successful Mastering Orthopedic Techniques series, the book is highly illustrated with surgical photographs, operative diagrams, X-Ray images and tables.
Other titles in the series include Total Knee Arthroplasty, Total Hip Arthroplasty, Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty, Spine Surgery, Intra-articular Fractures, and Knee Reconstruction.
