  • It has been suggested that revision knee arthroplasty (RKA) cases be centralised in specialist centres with a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach. 
  • Analysis of RKA surgery performed in a four surgeon, lower volume revision knee unit over 10 years to December 2016 (RKAs = 192) concluded that RKA can be reliably performed at lower volume centres with appropriate MDT systems in place.
