Article Abstract

Introduction: Revision total knee replacements are very common now a days. Most common causes include early total knee replacement and increased life expectancy. Proper pre-operative planning and assessment are crucial for the appropriate management of revision cases.

Case Report: An 83-year-old gentleman came with a history of right knee pain and instability for past 1 year. He underwent bilateral TKR 20 years back, after which he underwent two revisions for his right knee 5 and 10 years following the first surgery. Intraoperatively, femoral and tibial components were found stable, and only poly wear was noted with hinge breakage and cement mantle interposition; hence, only hinge revision was done.

Conclusion: Not all cases of revision need complete component replacement. Addressing intraoperative findings and appropriate management prevents complications.

One-fifth of adults who receive a total knee replacement (TKR) go on to develop chronic pain. The behavioural approach taken to find a solution to pain may vary from assimilative (pursuit of analgesia) to accommodative (acceptance of pain insolubility and adoption of alternative goals). A total of 313 patients participated in a trial of an enhanced care pathway for TKR reported pain at 3 months after surgery.
