Introduction: The rotating hinge prosthesis was originally used and designed as a primary total knee arthroplasty implant, but was hampered due to poor outcomes and catastrophic failures. Newer rotating hinge implants can be utilized in complex revision total knee arthroplasties when appropriately indicated, but their outcome data is very difficult to interpret due to the strict and varied indications for use and subsequently small number of procedures performed. The goal of this review is to evaluate the current evidence on large cohort, rotating hinge knee prostheses used in the revision setting, in order to provide a clearer understanding of the indications, outcomes and complications.

Methods: The PubMed database was utilized to search the available literature regarding "hinged knee," or "rotating hinge" devices. Exclusion criteria included papers focusing on primary arthroplasty, revision for ...
