Welcome to the World of
Revision Surgery
• Revisions are a different animal
• Therapy may be unique to underlying cause
of failure
• Patients have a different mind set
• NOT ALL REVISIONS ARE CREATED
EQUAL!!!

Differential Diagnosis- Early Failure
• Infection (38%)
• Instability (27%)
• Failure of Cementless fixation
(13%)
• Patellofemoral problems (8%)
• Wear or osteolysis (7%)
• Malpositioning
• Aseptic Loosening

Infection
• Most common Reason for revision TKA
– 1 out of 4 revisions (Bozic et. al CORR 2010)
– Loosening #2 at 16%
• 3rd Most common reason for THA
• Significant institutional expenses
– Estimated cost: >$50,000 per infection
• Infected cost 400% more than primary arthroplasty
• Net financial loss if Medicare or Medicaid
– >$250 million annual healthcare expenditures

Arthrofibrosis
• Not uncommon in
TKA
– 1-60% of cases
• True incidence 1-6%
– Defined as:
• Loose criteria: 5-95º
• Strict criteria: 15-75º
• Pre-op ROM is most
predictive of post-op
ROM
• Classification (based on
arc of motion):
– Mild—70-90º degrees
– Moderate—45-70º
– Severe-- < 30-45º
• Needs:
– 67º to walk
– 83º to ascend stairs
– 90-100º to descend stairs

Arthrofibrosis
• Arthrofibrosis is a specific cause of knee
stiffness with the following
pathogenesis:
– Histology: subsynovial fibrosis with synovial
hyperplasia, chronic inflammation, unregulated
proliferation of collagen and fibroblasts
– Bands of scar tissue between quadriceps
mechanism and distal femur
• Exaggerated mechanical stresses on soft
tissue induce fibrous metaplasia.

Arthrofibrosis
• Post-op Goals:
– 2-3 weeks: 5-90
degrees
– 5-6 weeks: 0-110
degrees
– 6-12 weeks: 0-120
degrees
• Remember this will
vary based on pre-
op ROM and
diagnosis
• Causes for TKA
Stiffness:
– Poor Pre-op ROM
– Prior open surgeries
– Intolerance to pain
– Arthrofibrosis
– Infection
– CRPS
– HO formation
– Poor technique
– Retained cement

Arthrofibrosis--Treatment

anesthesia
– Bracing

adhesions and MUA
– Open lysis of
adhesions

• Started with good motion

• Never achieved a good
ROM

Arthrofibrosis: What can you do?
• Aggressive ROM
– Ask about pre-
surgery ROM
• Alert MD:
– When ROM not
progressing (< 90
degrees at 4-5
weeks)
– Pain is not controlled
during PT
– Give a manageable
home program

Instability: Knee
• Term “knee instability”
– Soft tissue + prosthesis design + limb
alignment
• Unable to provide stability necessary for
adequate function
– Commonly refers to tibiofemoral articulation
• Direction of instability at TF articulation
– Coronal (varus/valgus) plane
– Sagittal (anteroposterior) plane
– Combination of planes

Early Knee Instability
• Weeks to months
• Symptoms:
– Catching or giving way with unsatisfactory knee
function
• Etiology:
– Malalignment of components
– Flexion-extension imbalance
– Ligamentous rupture
– Patella Maltracking
• Lateral patella subluxation (More common in valgus knee)
– Extensor mechanism rupture
• Patellar tendon rupture or patella fracture

Late Instability
• Symptoms:
– Activity related discomfort and effusions
• Etiology:
– Polyethylene Wear
• Possibly a function of malalignment or ligamentous
instability
• Cam-post articulation PE in posterior stabilized knee
– Ligamentous Instability
• Attenuation of PCL over time in PCL retaining knee
– Extensor Mechanism Complications
• Wear of patellar component
• Disruption

Patterns of Instability
• AP or Flexion Space Instability
– Flex-Ext gap mismatch
– Usually have excessive flexion space
– Laxity in flexion can be difficult to diagnose
• Alignment appears good
• No marked instability in varus/valgus stress in knee extension
• Positive posterior sag
• Radiographs
– AP view: Well aligned components
– Lateral view: Posterior subluxation of tibia under femur A

Patterns of Instability

– Failure to address pathologic laxity

TKA Instability: What can you do?
• If instability (knee buckling, recurrent
effusions, difficulty ambulating) is
recognized:

– Try not to alarm the patient
• Remember clicking and crepitus are not
abnormal unless associated with pain

Joint Replacement Myths
• CPM is necessary after TKA
• Direct Anterior approach to the hip is better
• Mobile bearing knees are the sports knee
• There is such thing as the female knee
• Patient compliance once they feel better
• Partial knees do not work well
• All TKAs should get 120 degrees of flexion
