PSI technology have proved helpful in difficult primary Total Knee Replacement. However applying it to revision was impossible due to multiple factor. To Start with the landmark We usually destroy it. There is an extensive damage at the bone at the epiphysis, the implant prevent an accurate visualization and debridement usually change the surface of the bone as well which make applying the psi dyed impossible, we are proposing a new way of using psi in revision where we don't depend on the all masses adjusted in primary. However we depend on the metaphysical area of the bone. We have reviewed 56 MRI & CT scans for cases posted for revision and showed clearly that in spite of the extensive bony destruction and metal presence the MRI / CT scan we were able to visualize well the metaphysical area in the intramedullary canal in both tibial and femoral we have established a special external guide that depends on the outside surface of the metaphysis of the femur. We have tried this model on six plastic bone and showed that this external guide can give the accurate details that the surgeon is looking for in a revision surgeryIntroduction
