| Popis: | Some indications for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA), e.g. arthrofibrosis, have been identified to yield inferior results. The aim of this study was to analyse the results of revision TKA according to aetiology of TKA failure. The results of 97 consecutive revision TKA in 97 patients stratified according to the aetiology of primary TKA failure (periprosthetic infection, aseptic loosening, instability and arthrofibrosis), were compared using the Knee Society Score (KSS). The effect of patient age, gender, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, interval to revision and the occurrence of complications on the outcome were also analysed.
