Abstract
Failure in total knee replacement requiring revision surgery is often accompanied by significant bone loss and soft tissue asymmetry. When embarking on these complex reconstructions, careful preoperative planning is necessary to ensure that these deficiencies will be corrected by surgical technique and implant selection. This article discusses various techniques and results of bone grafting in revision total knee arthroplasty.
