Abstract
Revision total knee replacements (TKRs) have traditionally represented approximately 5% of all total knee replacements performed. Poor impla nt design features have increased the prevalence of revision TKRs to t en or more percent in some centers. This article briefly describes the investigation for the failure mechanism of a total knee joint replace ment and outlines the principles of revision surgery.
