Background: Addressing bone loss and securing implant fixation can be challenging in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We present the results of a large series of revision TKAs using a metaphyseal sleeve.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 319 revision TKAs with the use of a metaphyseal sleeve that had been followed up for at least 2 years, using a prospectively collected database.
Aims: To determine the temporal changes in patient dissatisfaction following primary knee arthroplasty surgery (TKA).
