Expert Solutions for Failed or Painful Knee Replacements

The revision knee replacement is done when a previous knee replacement implant has failed, loosened, or has resulted in other complications like infection, instability or stiffness. It is performed by taking off the old prosthesis very carefully and inserting a new more stable prosthesis that is expected to perform the functions of the new prosthesis and provide comfort as well.

Revision replacement due to its nature of the correction of past surgery will be a case of special skills, planning, and advanced surgical methods to ensure that joints will be aligned and stable.

Ideal Candidates

Applicable to patients with:

Chronic Pain

Chronic knee pain following original replacement.

Implant Loosening

It can be detected through X-rays or CT scans.

Infection

Swelling, redness or drainage of the surgical site.

Instability

Knee weakens or collapses during walking.

Revision vs Primary Replacement
Revision surgery is more complicated than initial replacement surgery and usually necessitates bone grafts, specialised implants or stems in order to fix it correctly and make it stable.
Recovery After Surgery

Recovery could take more time than the initial operation, though through physiotherapy, adequate wound management and controlled exercise, the majority of patients can resume normal walking and function in a few months.
