Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has become a success story. Nevertheless, today there are a growing number of arthroplasties that have to be revised. The revision of knee arthroplasty is a challenging procedure. During the last 20 years, there have been significant improvements in the development of implants, instruments, and strategies for revision. Additionally, navigation has assumed a growing role in primary TKA. It has been shown that navigation results in a superior alignment to that of manual implantation (Bäthis et al. 2004; Jenny and Boeri 2001). Achieving perfect alignment is one of the major challenges in revision arthroplasty, and consequently B. Braun Aesculap launched a total knee revision (TKR) version of their navigation system OrthoPilot® in October 2008.
