title: Revision total knee arthroplasty due to aseptic failure.
abstract: Revision TKA for aseptic failure presents the surgeon with a variety of technical problems. The major problems include loss of bone stock and inadequacy of soft-tissue constraints. Historically, these patients have done poorly but when these problems are adequately addressed with the appropriate surgical technique and appropriate choice of implant, then the results are quite good.
