THE MULTIPLY REVISED KNEE ARTHROPLASTY: END GAME

Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) – Winter 2015 meeting (9–12 December).



Abstract

The moderator will lead a structured panel discussion that explores how to manage challenges commonly found in the multiply revised knee. Topics covered will include: (1) Exposure in the multiply operated knee (when to use quad snip, tibial tubercle osteotomy, other techniques); (2) Level of constraint (when to use posterior stabilised, constrained condylar, and hinge) and management of instability in multiply operated knees; (3) Management of bone loss in multiply operated knees (metal cones/sleeves vs. structural allograft vs. particulate graft); (4) Preferred management of infection in the multiply operated knee; (5) When is it time to convert to a salvage procedure (i.e. fusion, resection arthroplasty, amputation)?
