Summary

This study looks at a device called the Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augment, used in revision knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to see if it helps prevent the need for further surgery due to loosening. About 254 people who need a full knee replacement revision are being followed for 2 years to check how well the device holds up.
