What is Revision Joint Replacement?
A revision hip or knee replacement is a complex procedure performed when a previously replaced joint no longer functions properly. Unlike a primary joint replacement, revision surgery often involves removing the old implant, repairing damaged bone, and placing a new prosthesis for better joint stability and function.
Why is Revision Surgery Needed?
✔ Implant Wear & Loosening – Over time, prosthetic joints may wear out, causing pain and instability.
✔ Infection (Periprosthetic Joint Infection – PJI) – A serious condition requiring removal of the infected implant.
✔ Fractures Around the Implant – Bone fractures near the prosthesis can lead to implant failure.
✔ Implant Dislocation & Instability – The joint may repeatedly shift out of position.
✔ Metal Allergies or Reactions – Some patients develop adverse reactions to implant materials.
✔ Bone Loss & Implant Failure – Osteolysis (bone deterioration) may cause the implant to loosen.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Revision Surgery
✅ Chronic pain & stiffness despite previous joint replacement.
✅ Swelling & warmth around the joint, indicating possible infection.
✅ Instability & difficulty walking, feeling like the joint is “giving way.”
✅ Reduced range of motion, making everyday activities challenging.
✅ Grinding, clicking, or popping sounds from the joint.
