Implication

Review reveals a 5% ten-year failure rate in total knee arthroplasty, indicating that aseptic loosening and infection drive most surgical revisions.

Key Points

To review the epidemiology, survivorship trends, and primary modes of failure requiring revision surgery following total knee arthroplasty using global registry data.
Conducted a current concepts review synthesizing epidemiological and survivorship outcomes from worldwide National Joint Registries.
Assessed failure patterns in relation to patient demographics, surgical technique, and implant-specific variables.
The cumulative risk of total knee arthroplasty failure requiring revision surgery is 5% at 10 years post-operatively.
The predominant indications for revision surgery are aseptic loosening (29.8%), infection (14.8%), and pain (9.5%).
