ABSTRACT Revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) should offer the same benefits to patients as primary TKA. As in primary TKA, a main objective of revision TKA is to reduce pain and restore functional range of motion. There are several potential causes of total knee failure, but the principles of repairing each of them is similar. The long-term success of the low contact stress knee system in primary TKA is well established, and clinical evidence for revision TKA with the low contact stress knee is promising.
