Abstract

Most of the surgeons would agree that the surgical technique itself is the most important prognostic factor for TKA. However, there may be some flaws in the designs or the materials used in TKA prosthesis which can lead to a poor prognosis and early TKA failure. Even if these prostheses do not have any problem, the operation can be difficult and outcomes can be poor if an inappropriate implant is selected for the patient.
