Revision Knee System
Surgical Technique
Device Description
The Persona Revision Knee System is designed for use
in both complex primary and revision arthroplasty.
Persona Revision Knee System is a constrained revision
knee prosthesis consisting of anatomically designed
components including:
• Femoral Components
• Articular Surfaces (Bearings)
• Tibial Baseplates
• Stem Extensions
• Femoral and Tibial Augments
• Femoral and Tibial Trabecular Metal™ Cones
Optional Preoperative Templating
Obtain a 36 inch or 53 inch standing anteroposterior
and lateral radiograph of the extremity, as well as a
sunrise view of the patella. Utilize the supplied surgical
templates to preoperatively plan for necessary
implants (Figure 1).
Patient Preparation
If desired, provide a thigh tourniquet and inflate with
the knee in hyperflexion to maximize the portion of the
quadriceps that is below the level of the tourniquet.
Once the patient is draped and prepped on the
operating table, determine the landmarks for the
surgical incision (Figure 2).
Surgical Approach and Exposure
Exposure should be performed by the surgeon’s
preferred approach. Typically the approach is made
through the previous incision. Care should be taken to
avoid avulsion of the patellar tendon. Various extensile
exposures may be utilized including an extended
medial parapatellar arthrotomy, quadriceps snip,
quadriceps turn down and tibial tubercle osteotomy.
Depending on surgeon preference, the patella can be
either everted or subluxed laterally.
