摘要

Revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is widely performed, and its incidence is increasing exponentially over time. Morbidity, mortality, as well as cost, both to the patient and the healthcare system, are significantly greater with revision TJA than primary TJA. Thus, efforts to minimize all-cause revision surgery are essential. In this special issue, we present articles on revision TJA epidemiology, surgical techniques, novel technology, implant design, and outcome optimization.
