Abstract
In an interactive case presentation session, the faculty discussed management of complex primary and revision knee arthroplasty issues. Principles discussed included: preoperative evaluation of the failed knee arthroplasty, intra-articular versus extra-articular deformity correction, ligamentous balancing, managing the unstable total knee arthroplasty, bone deficiency management, rotational positioning of prosthetic components, selection of articular constraint in the revision knee, and extensor mechanism balancing.
