What is Revision Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery?

Revision hip and knee replacement surgery is a complex procedure that involves removing a previously implanted prosthetic joint and replacing it with a new one. Unlike primary joint replacements, revision surgeries require extensive planning, advanced surgical techniques, and a skilled Revision Knee Replacement Surgeon to manage complications and restore mobility.

When is Revision Surgery Needed?

• Implant wear and tear over time
• Loosening or instability of the prosthetic joint
• Infection around the implant
• Fractures near the prosthesis
• Allergic reactions or adverse responses to implant materials
• Persistent pain or limited mobility despite previous surgery
