Despite the large number of revision total knee arthroplasties performed over the last twenty-five years, few data exist regarding overall complication rates after this procedure. As epidemiologic techniques (i.e., meta-analysis) are applied to the existing literature base and as orthopaedic prospective study design improves, a clearer picture of the incidence, prevalence, and risk of complications after revision total knee arthroplasty will be gained.
