Thirty-five thousand patients under the age of 65 elected to have a knee replacement in 1995. In this group of patients, the prosthetic knees will give out before the people do, hence the increasing need for knee replacement revision. It's not a common procedure in most residency training programs, so the expert guidance offered by the contributors to this volume is particularly important. They discuss the failed total knee replacement, planning the revision surgery, techniques, infection, and results. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
