Popis: The demand for revision knee replacement (RKR) has increased dramatically with rising patient life expectancy and younger recipients for primary TKR. However, significant challenges to RKR arise from osseous defects, reduced bone quality, potential bone volume loss from implant removal and the need to achieve implant stability. This study utilizes the outcomes of an ongoing RKR clinical trial using porous metaphyseal cones 3D-printed of titanium, to investigate 1) bone mineral density (BMD) changes in three fixation zones (epiphysis, metaphysis, and diaphysis) over a year and 2) the biomechanical effects of the cones at 6 months post-surgery. It combines dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT) with patient-specific based finite element (FE) modelling. Bone loss (-0.086 ± 0.05 g/cm
