Given the procedural complexity of revision procedures, growth in utilization of revision TKAs will further strain healthcare resources [ 5].
Two patients required revision procedures.
Five knees underwent revision procedures, none for aseptic loosening.
All seven cases with complications requiring additional revision procedures resulted in stiffness (mean ROM reduction −35°).
The increasing number of revision procedures has led to a better understanding of the different postoperative complications.
In fact, trunnionosis is estimated to account for up to 3%% of all THA revision procedures [4, 5].
Another important factor was the number of failed prosthetic revision procedures due to septic loosening (Fig. 2).
Trends for these two procedures regarding utilization, revision procedures, and other demographic information have not been sufficiently explored.
Only 20% of the cases were primary surgeries, with the majority planned second stage or revision procedures.
Consequences of implant-associated infections include prolonged hospitalization with systemic antibiotic therapy, several revision procedures, possible amputation, and even death.
Major revision procedures were done in EIN groups due to implant failure, while in plating groups it was due to refracture after implant removal.
