The life of revision knee surgery depends on what was performed during the procedure, the quality of the bone, and the fixation of the implant. If significant invasiveness is needed to achieve fixation from revision knee replacement surgery, the muscle rehabilitation may take several months. If the bone is deteriorated, perhaps from an infection adjacent to the prosthesis, the knee replacement may not last a very long time. Unfortunately, very little literature exists looking at revision knee replacement surgery, and it is difficult to quote literature (the surgeon can quote literature with the primary knee replacement).
