- The study investigates the reasons behind revision total knee arthroplasties (R-TKAs), highlighting complications such as infection, mechanical failure, and instability that lead to the need for these surgeries.
- Data from over 44,000 R-TKA cases from 2016 to 2019 was analyzed to measure outcomes like hospital costs, length of stay, and complications compared to primary TKA patients.
- Key findings showed that R-TKA patients have higher rates of chronic conditions, increased in-hospital mortality, longer hospital stays, and significantly more postoperative complications and costs.
