About 95% of joint are working fine for 10 years and 80% are doing good at end of 20 Years. Commonest Causes of failure of knee replacement is infection.
Other Reasons:
- Poly wear and aseptic loosening
- Stiffness
- Instability
- Malposition of components
- Periprosthetic fracture
Revision knee replacement procedure is done to rectify the existing problem by removing the already existing implant and replacing it with special implants. It is technically demanding surgery. I do two stage revision for infection and one stage revision for other problems. The longevity of revision implants are usually lesser than conventional knee implants and typically last for 10-15 years.
