Abstract
A volumetric classification system of tibial defects is necessary for preoperative planning in revision TKA. Common tibial bone defect shape groups were identified and analyzed in AP and lateral radiographs after revision TKA. Trapezoidal defects were the most common, and all other shapes followed a pattern of proximal enlargement tapering distally. Trapezoidal defects were smaller than other shapes and AP T-bilateral shaped defects were correlated with higher BMIs.
