Core Tip	With increasing number of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKAs) being performed, tighter control on healthcare costs and value based care may occur. Surgeons are tasked with the responsibility to avoid risk factors for revision TKA. Newer longitudinal studies report that infection has become the primary acute cause of failure with loosening and instability remaining as the overall greatest reasons for revision. The surgeon must be aware of the risk factors and preventative measures for these failure modes, including preoperative management, surgical techniques and enhanced materials.
