Epidemiology of revision total knee arthroplasty: A single center & #39;s experience

Conclusion: The volume of first-time RTKA procedures (4%) at our center remained low compared with that of the Western countries. In Western countries, the incidence of late aseptic failures was higher than that of early-septic failures, whereas in our study, revisions were more commonly performed in the early-failure group (48%) and most failures were due to prosthetic infection (61%).
