Out of 670 total knee arthroplasties performed at our institution until 1993, eighteen were followed by revision. The major reasons for revision were loosening, dislocation, and infection.
Eight of the eighteen knees were revised using a kinematic rotating hinge. Results using this prosthesis were good following revision. We examined the causes of dislocation which occurred in 6 cases and there were 3 cases with post operative infection following the revision surgery at our institution.
