Total Knee Revision: Surgical techniques is proposed as a practical text for the management of revision knee, presenting surgical techniques step by step. The text is intended to be a pragmatic reference for residents, fellows and attending surgeons engaged in the treatment of patients undergoing revision of total knee arthroplasty, written by expert surgeons of different continents. The book is divided in to 25 chapters regarding revision knee. The first part describes the basic principles of revision knee: the preoperative planning and the principles to restore the stability, maintaining the joint line and the gap balance. The second part is the so called “step by step approach”, including chapters describing the approach, implant removal, preservation of a correct alignment and some technical tips and pearls. The third part underlines all the techniques to restore bone loss and to guarantee the fixation and stability of the implant using different un/cemented stems, cones, sleeves. Moreover, some of the chapters emphasize principles of extensor mechanism issues management and the treatment of infection in one or two stages, including the arthrodesis. The last part is the revision knee experience of experts with the title “How I do it”. We are thankful and honoured for support and expertise provided by so many master surgeons, who have contributed to this volume. The collaboration with outstanding friends, colleagues and mentors in publishing this book was a true honour for us.

Abstract
Total Knee Revision: Surgical techniques is proposed as a practical text for the management of revision knee, presenting surgical techniques step by step. The text is intended to be a pragmatic reference for residents, fellows and attending surgeons engaged in the treatment of patients undergoing revision of total knee arthroplasty, written by expert surgeons of different continents. The book is divided in to 25 chapters regarding revision knee. The first part describes the basic principles of revision knee: the preoperative planning and the principles to restore the stability, maintaining the joint line and the gap balance. The second part is the so called “step by step approach”, including chapters describing the approach, implant removal, preservation of a correct alignment and some technical tips and pearls. The third part underlines all the techniques to restore bone loss and to guarantee the fixation and stability of the implant using different un/cemented stems, cones, sleeves. Moreover, some of the chapters emphasize principles of extensor mechanism issues management and the treatment of infection in one or two stages, including the arthrodesis. The last part is the revision knee experience of experts with the title “How I do it”. We are thankful and honoured for support and expertise provided by so many master surgeons, who have contributed to this volume. The collaboration with outstanding friends, colleagues and mentors in publishing this book was a true honour for us.
