A review of materials for managing bone loss in revision total knee arthroplasty
Abstract
In 2014-2015, 61,421 total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were performed in Canada; an increase of about 20% over 2000-2001. Revision total knee arthroplasties (rTKAs) accounted for 6.8% of TKAs performed between 2014 and 2015, and this is estimated to grow another 12% by 2025. rTKAs are typically more complicated than primary TKAs due to the significant loss of femoral and tibial bone stock. The escalating demand and limitations associated with …
