Introduction Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is a challenging procedure and is usually associated with worse results when compared with primary knee arthroplasty. 1 In this scenario, surgeons have to deal with different technical

Introduction The number of surgical revisions of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing 1 due to the steady increase in the number of TKA procedures. 2 , 3 The principal reasons for TKA revision are aseptic loosening, infection
