Revision Knee Replacement

A surgical procedure to replace a failed or damaged knee implant, ensuring continued mobility and pain relief.

Revision knee replacement is necessary when a previous knee implant has worn out, loosened, or developed complications such as infection or instability. The procedure involves removing the old prosthetic implant and replacing it with a new, more secure one, improving function and relieving pain.

What Is It?

This surgery is performed when a knee implant from a prior knee replacement has failed, causing pain, swelling, or difficulty in movement. It is a more complex procedure that may require bone grafting or reinforced implants.

Symptoms Treated

Chronic pain after a previous knee replacement
Implant loosening or wear over time
Joint instability and reduced mobility
Infection or complications in the previous knee implant

Postoperative Care

Physical therapy for improved strength and mobility
Pain management with appropriate medications
Careful monitoring of implant function
Gradual return to activity under medical supervision

Risks and Complications

Increased risk of infection compared to primary surgery
Blood clots and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Implant instability or failure
Longer recovery time due to complexity
