Revision and Re-implantation of Knee Prostheses: A Comprehensive Guide

In France, nearly 10,000 knee prosthesis revisions (PTG) are performed every year, with a 7% annual growth rate. However, the outcomes of these complex re-interventions are less favorable than those of initial knee prostheses. The rate of complications and failures is significant, and the success of the intervention requires meticulous planning and surgical technique.

This monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knee prosthesis revisions, addressing the crucial question of when and how to re-implant a partial or total knee prosthesis. Written in a didactic style, this practical guide is ideal for orthopedic surgeons, both experienced and young.

Understanding Knee Prosthesis Revisions

Knee prosthesis revisions are complex and challenging procedures that require careful planning and execution. In this monograph, we will explore the following topics:

• Generalities and Epidemiology: Understanding the scope and impact of knee prosthesis revisions in France.
• Managing Imperfect Results: How to approach knee prosthesis revisions with imperfect results.
• Revising First-Intention Knee Prostheses: Strategies for revising non-infected knee prostheses.
• Aseptic Revisions: Approaches to aseptic knee prosthesis revisions.
• Infections and Complications: Managing infections and complications in knee prosthesis revisions.

This comprehensive guide is enriched with numerous illustrations, including imagingumbnails, photographs, and diagrams, making it an invaluable resource for orthopedic surgeons. Written by two renowned experts in the field, Professors Denis Huten and Gilles-Jean-Marie Pasquier, this monograph is a must-have for any orthopedic surgeon looking to improve their skills and outcomes in knee prosthesis revisions.
