Abstract
Background: Knee replacement is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the world. Local data on revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are limited. This study aims to assess the rates and causes of revision TKA in Kashani Hospital (Isfahan, Iran) from 2011 to 2013.
Materials and Methods: We assessed all primary TKA and revision TKA procedures performed from 2011 to 2013 for the rate and causes of failures. Demographic data, duration from primary TKA to revision TKA and underlying diagnosis for primary TKA were also assessed.
Results: Overall, 353 primary TKA procedures carried out in this period. The overall revisions following primary TKA in this period was 24 cases, indicating a revision burden of 6.8%. The most common cause of revision TKA was infection, which was in 16 cases (44.4%). Other causes included patellar complications, mechanical loosening of both tibia and femur, mechanical loosening of tibia, instability, and periprosthetic fracture. The main revision procedures were all component revision, tibial component revision, isolated tibial insert exchange and patellar tendon repair. The most common revision procedure was two stage all component revision, which was carried out in 13 subjects (36.1%).
Conclusion: Local indications for revision TKA are mainly similar to those in other large centers. As compared with other centers, with considering the follow-up time, revision burden is relatively higher in this center.
