Revision knee replacement

Addressing complications in knee surgery

A revision knee replacement is a surgical procedure designed to replace or repair a previously implanted artificial knee joint that has worn out, failed, or developed complications. This surgery involves removing the old prosthesis and replacing it with a new one, often requiring more complex techniques than those used in the initial procedure.

A revision knee replacement is performed to address various issues, such as implant loosening, infection, instability, or damage to the surrounding bone. Because this procedure may involve extensive bone and tissue reconstruction, recovery can take longer compared to the initial knee replacement.

If you are experiencing complications from a previous knee replacement, a revision knee replacement can provide a necessary solution to restore function and alleviate pain.
