ABSTRACT
Previous classifications of severity for total knee arthroplasty revisions have been based largely on bone loss of the femur and tibia. These approaches failed to address the more technically difficult issues in revision surgery such as surgical exposure, contractures, extremity alignment, implant removal, soft tissue stability (in the anteroposterior and in the sagittal planes), extensor mechanism integrity, and patellar revisability. Through the Knee Society, the authors developed a severity index that incorporated these latter factors into one measure. The current authors describe the application of the Knee Society Index of Severity for failed total knee arthroplasty and its method of scoring.
