requires a comprehensive understanding of the design rationale of a revision system, which is characterized by a high degree of modularity, offset adjustment, metallic augmentation, stem biomechanics and fixation methods, and grade of constraint, according

eversion or sliding it on the side. Removal of the modular polyethylene should be performed as a standard surgical step before extending the soft tissues releases necessary to open the joint. Quadriceps snip If adequate exposure is not achieved with

80% to 90% of all revisions. 5 - 8 Modularity for TKA was first introduced in the 1980s. It conferred a number of advantages, such as intra-operative flexibility, ability to use porous coating and stems, and the possibility for late liner

rotation and high modularity have improved the outcomes for hinged knee implants. 9 While there is abundant literature on the outcomes of TKA revision, only a few reports focus on the benefits of hinged implants in revision surgery, and even fewer

mechanics of movement and diminished stress transmission, although suboptimal instrumentation and implant design led to high complication rates. Third-generation RH-TKA modular systems evolved further, incorporating modular stems and diaphyseal anchorage

. The first step is the modular polyethylene liner removal that can be easily performed with the use of a lever (i.e. the tip of a standard Hohmannretractor) or cutting the pivot in rotating implants. Implant-specific instrumentations have to be used in

micromotion in modular implants, have greatly reduced this problem. Today infection, instability, malalignment, stiffness and dissatisfaction with the outcome of the procedure are the main drivers for early revision. 1 In particular, this is a more
