Case Description

Management of Bone Defects in Revision TKR

Case Summary

  • Management of complex bone defects is a fundamental challenge in revision total knee arthroplasty, requiring simultaneous restoration of ligamentous stability and structural integrity. Clinicians must systematically evaluate bone loss—often more extensive intraoperatively than anticipated—using established frameworks like the Anderson Orthopedic Research Institute classification. Type one and two defects generally involve manageable metaphyseal bone loss addressed via augments, allograft, or cement, while type three defects necessitate advanced reconstructive strategies.
