We have previously developed a radiographic technique, the oblique posterior condylar view, for assessment of the posterior aspect of the femoral condyles after total knee arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to confirm the validity of this radiographic view based upon intra-operative findings at
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a cost effective
and extremely successful operation. As longevity increases, the demand
for primary TKA will continue to rise. The success and survivorship
of TKAs are dependent on the demographics of the patient, surgical
technique and implant-related factors. Currently the risk of failure of a TKA requiring revision surgery
ten years post-operatively is 5%. The most common indications for revision include aseptic loosening
(29.8%), infection (14.8%), and pain (9.5%). Revision surgery poses
considerable clinical burdens on patients and financial burdens
on healthcare systems. We present a current concepts review on the epidemiology of failed
TKAs using data from worldwide National Joint Registries. Cite this article:
