Current financial coding for revision knee does not accurately predict costs associated with revision knee surgery. Net deficit varies depending on the RKCC grade of the knee revision episode with more complex operations resulting in a higher mean net deficit. Implementation of the RKCC could prove to be a useful tool in generating an accurate prediction of the cost associated with knee revision surgery.
