Overview of Revision Joint Replacement Surgery
Revision joint replacement surgery happens when an existing joint implant fails or wears out. The surgeon removes the old prosthesis and replaces it with a new one. This helps restore pain-free movement and joint function.
Surgical Approach & Method for Revision Implant Replacement
This surgery uses precise removal of the failed implant, taking care to preserve healthy bone and tissue. Surgeons employ specialized extraction tools, modular stems, and bone graft materials to reconstruct the area. The revision implant—either cemented or cementless—is positioned to ensure stability and proper alignment. Titanium or cobalt-chrome components are often used for strength and durability. Cement or bone cement may be applied to fix the prosthesis in place. The procedure restores function and alleviates pain while preventing further complications.
Indications for Revision Joint Replacement Surgery
- The original implant has loosened or become unstable.
- Infection around the implant requires removal of the device.
- Wear or mechanical failure of implant components over time.
- Fracture or bone loss around the implant site.
- Persistent pain or restricted movement after primary arthroplasty.
