The Failing Knee Replacement for FRCS

Description

The video presentation covers the topic of failing knee arthroplasty, delivered in a clinical setting. It discusses various classifications of arthroplasty failure, including structural, biological, and kinematic failures. Key points include risk factors, revision surgery evaluation, and diagnostic algorithms for assessing total knee arthroplasty failures, particularly focusing on infection as a primary cause of complications. The presenter explains the importance of systematic evaluation, ruling out infections, and understanding the dynamics of knee stability within the context of surgical revisions. The discussion also includes insights into alignment and kinematic stability in prosthetics, with a breakdown of assessment techniques, radiological evaluations, and factors influencing joint performance post-surgery.
