Homologous structural graft for treatment of bone defect during knee revision arthroplasty.

Obtaining stable bone-implant interface, correct alignment of the components, proper balance of soft tissues' tension, maintenance of proper joint interline are fundamental principles for success in surgical revision total knee arthroplasty, which are only obtained with management bone deficiency. However, proper treatment of large defects remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of patients that had underwent revision surgery for total knee arthroplasty with use of structural grafts of musculoskeletal tissue bank in the period between January 2002 to December 2010 by the Knee Surgery Center of National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedics (INTO).
