Knee revision surgery is a procedure that is performed when an initial knee replacement no longer functions as intended. During the procedure, the previous knee prosthetic implant is replaced with a new one with the goal of restoring function to the knee and alleviating any pain and instability.
(TKR) involves shaving off the bones forming the knee joint- namely femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone) and patella (knee cap), and replacing them with artificial components, made of a special metal alloy (cobalt-chrome, titanium or oxinium), with a plastic insert between them.
