Knee and Hip Revision Surgery

Revision knee and revision hip surgeries are specialized procedures performed when a previous joint replacement has failed or worn out over time. These surgeries remove the old implant and replace it with new components to restore function and relieve pain. Common reasons for revision surgery include persistent pain and stiffness, implant loosening, infection, and fractures around the prosthesis.

Patients who may need a revision knee or hip surgery often experience increasing pain, instability, or difficulty with daily activities despite previous joint replacement. A thorough evaluation, including x-rays and an orthopedic surgeon’s assessment, helps determine if revision surgery is the best option. Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, but most patients can expect a rehabilitation process like their initial replacement, often requiring physical therapy for several months.

The goal of revision surgery is enhanced joint stability, improved range of motion, and long-term pain relief. Working closely with a highly trained, experienced orthopedic surgeon and a dedicated rehabilitation team ensures the best possible results, helping patients return to their daily activities with confidence and comfort.
