A single-stage procedure This is reported using current procedural terminology (CPT) code 27487—Revision of total knee arthroplasty, with or without allograft; femoral and entire tibial component.
A knee revision is the replacement of prosthetic implants in a person who previously had a total knee replacement. In this surgery, known as a "reoperation," an original prosthesis is removed and a new prosthesis put in place.
Although both procedures have the same goal—to relieve pain and improve function—revision surgery is different than primary total knee replacement. It is a longer, more complex procedure that requires extensive planning, and specialized implants and tools to achieve a good result.

A deep infection of a knee replacement is typically treated with surgery in what is called a Two-Stage Revision Knee Replacement. A two-stage revision knee replacement consists of first clearing the infection and then, once the infection is cleared, reinserting a new joint replacement.
The most common reasons for knee revision surgery are: attachment between the artificial joint and the bone has become loose. infection of the joint may cause stiffness, pain or loosening. fracture of the bone around the joint requires the fracture to be fixed.
During a total knee replacement, the end of the femur bone is removed and replaced with a metal shell. The end of the lower leg bone (tibia) is also removed and replaced with a channeled plastic piece with a metal stem.
This procedure, called a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), involves replacing all of the joint surfaces in the knee. In a total knee replacement, sometimes the under-surface of the patella (knee cap) is resurfaced and polymer plastic implant is attached to it.
Exchanging the polyethylene allows greater access to the posterior aspect of the joint, permitting a more complete synovectomy and irrigation and debridement. 25. Irrigation and debridement and polyethylene exchange is an attractive option in treating peri-prosthetic infections because it involves a single operation.
