Not the thing of wor: The reason 4 the revision is important. If u had infection, recurrent infection is foremost. If it was loose the success rate 4 the long term is less than a virgin knee. Also @ ur age, the longevity is also a concern. The reason 4 the original replacement is also a good thing 2 know 2 give you a good answer.Also was it cemented or press fit.
