Abstract
In the present chapter incidence of revision in primary and revision total hip and knee arthroplasty is presented mainly based on registry data. The information is then discussed separately for primary and revision arthroplasty focusing on the septic reasons for revision. Influence of registries on improvement of joint arthroplasty outcomes is discussed as well.
