What is Revision Knee & Hip Replacement?
Revision knee and hip replacement is a specialized surgical procedure performed when a previously replaced joint wears out, fails, or causes complications. Over time, implants may loosen, become unstable, or cause pain, requiring a second surgery to replace or repair the artificial joint.
Who Needs Revision Joint Replacement?
You may need a Revision knee or Hip Replacement if you experience :
- Persistent pain or stiffness in the replaced joint
- Loosening or wear of the implant over time
- Infection in the artificial joint
- Fractures around the implant site
- Instability or dislocation of the joint
- Bone loss or weakness around the implant
Types of Revision Joint Replacement Surgery
1. Revision Knee Replacement :
- Performed when a previous knee implant fails due to wear, infection, or instability.
- The damaged implant is removed and replaced with a new, more durable prosthesis.
- Helps restore knee stability, relieve pain, and improve movement.
2. Revision Hip Replacement :
- Recommended when a Hip replacement implant loosens or causes pain.
- The old implant is removed and replaced with a new one, often with additional bone support.
- Restores hip strength, function, and overall mobility.
Why is Revision Surgery More Complex?
Revision joint replacement is more complex than primary replacement due to :
- Bone Loss : The surrounding bone may have weakened over time.
- Scar Tissue & Soft Tissue Damage : Previous surgery affects the surrounding tissues.
- Custom Implants & Bone Grafts : May require advanced implants for better support.
