Core Tip

Core tip: Recurrent valgus deformity was a complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with a severe valgus deformity. It is very difficult to perform the revision TKA. The management of bone defects, the choice of the stem and the femoral entry point were of vital importance in the revision TKA.
