A careful examination of two-stage revision TKA is warranted as the number of patients who require revision TKA in the United States continues to rise. Surgeons should understand the intricacies involved in two-stage revision TKA, including the indications, procedural variations, and current deliberations on two-stage revision TKA in the literature.
