Revision knee replacement surgery is performed when a previous knee replacement fails due to wear, infection, or instability. It restores function, reduces pain, and improves mobility for better quality of life.
A complex procedure replacing a failed knee implant due to loosening, infection, or mechanical issues, restoring knee function and relieving pain.
Common reasons include implant wear, infection, instability, bone loss, or persistent pain after primary knee replacement surgery.
Doctors assess pain, mobility, and implant stability using X-rays, MRI, and blood tests to determine the need for revision surgery.
The damaged implant is removed, bone damage is repaired, and a new knee prosthesis is implanted to restore function and stability.
Physical therapy, pain management, and mobility exercises are crucial for regaining strength and ensuring a smooth recovery post-surgery.
Possible risks include infection, blood clots, implant loosening, stiffness, and nerve damage, requiring close monitoring and medical care.
Revision knee replacement restores mobility and alleviates pain from failed implants. With expert surgical care and rehabilitation, patients can regain active lifestyles and improved knee function.
