There has been a gradual increase in the revision TKA (RTKA) workload due to expanding indications of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), coupled with improving patient longevity. Western countries are already looking at their data on RTKA to plan for the future heath care needs of these patients. Limited data is available on RTKA from developing countries. Our study attempts to fill this gap in knowledge.
