Soft Tissue Procedures in the Multiply Operated on Knee Replacement Patient.

In the multiply operated on knee replacement, no one soft tissue procedure is vastly superior to another. The most extensive literature available is in relation to muscle flaps, which will continue to be the workhorse technique for orthopedic and plastic reconstructive surgeons for the foreseeable future. Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy may prove to be a superior method in time but further large-scale studies are required to expand our understanding of this technique. The continued use of a combination of these techniques, tailored to the specific patient, is likely to be the best approach to the multiply operated on knee into the future.
