The authors analyzed the results of different surgical approaches during 144 revision TKA. The need in extension of standard approach appeared in 24 (22,2%) patients: Coonse-Adams in 9 (8,3%), tibial tuberosity osteotomy in 6 (5,6%), quadriceps snip in 4 (3,7%) and combination of two lateral approaches to the distal femur and the knee in 5 (4,6%) patients with distal femur fracture for simultaneous osteosynthesis and implant revision. During revision TKA method of choice is the standard approach to the knee. Extensive approaches allow better visualization during surgery but may compromise knee function.
