Early postoperative complications (in the first 6 weeks) have been observed in 22 (56.4%) patients.

Conclusion: An analysis of revision surgeries can provide information on frequency and types of postoperative deformities. Reports in the literature are based on different parameters what makes comparison difficult. This is why evidence is only based on description and comparison. Inadequate operative technique can make complications and bad results.
