A comedy of errors: the bad knee.
A review of 241 consecutive total knee revisions has been carried out. Other than loosening, wear, and stiffness, at present, a commoner reason is an unsatisfactory result due to minor errors of tibial and femoral placement. Currently, about 16% of femoral components required derotation during revision.
