What is Revision Knee Replacement?

Revision Knee Replacement is a specialized orthopedic surgery in which an existing knee replacement implant is removed and replaced with a new, more suitable prosthesis. This procedure is more complex than primary knee replacement and is performed when the original implant no longer functions properly.

Revision surgery aims to restore stability, improve movement, and relieve pain caused by implant failure or complications.

Who Needs Revision Knee Replacement?

You may require Revision Knee Replacement if you experience:

Persistent or worsening knee pain after knee replacement
Loosening or wear of knee implant components

Recurrent swelling or stiffness
Infection around the knee implant

Causes of Knee Implant Failure

Revision Knee Replacement may be necessary due to:

Wear and tear of implant components over time
