Management of the failed total knee replacement is a formidable problem. In a 13-year period, 24 patients with above knee amputation following unsuccessful knee replacement were referred for prosthetic limb fitting. Adequate data was available for 23 patients. At review (or at the time of death), an average of 48.6 months after amputation, only seven of the 23 patients were regular daily walkers, although 10 patients had managed to walk for more than two years; 20 of the 23 used a wheelchair for some part of the day and 12 were confined to a wheelchair. |
