| Recently, some interesting articles have been published about revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA). It is important that these articles are known by orthopedic surgeons dedicated to knee surgery and, in general, by all orthopedic surgeons; therefore, I have considered it necessary to write this editorial. My intention is that with this new knowledge, we can optimize the results for our patients when they undergo RTKA. |
