- A retrospective observational registry-based study of the National Joint Registry in England and Wales, UK was carried out to understand longevity of knee replacement revision surgery. It found that males and younger patients are at higher risk of multiple revisions. Patients who undergo a revision have a steadily increasing risk of further revision the more procedures they undergo, and each subsequent revision lasts for approximately half the time of the previous one.
