Purpose

To identify the modes of failure after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients ≤ 55 years of age and to compare with those ≥ 56 years of age in patients who underwent revision TKA.

Materials and Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 256 revision TKAs among patients who underwent TKA for knee osteoarthritis between January 1992 and December 2012. The causes of TKA failure were analyzed and compared between those ≤ 55 years of age and those ≥ 56 years of age. The age at the time of primary surgery was ≤ 55 years in 30 patients (31 knees) and ≥ 56 years in 210 patients (225 knees).
