This procedure replaces a worn-out or failed knee implant with a new one to restore alignment, balance, and stability. It often requires specialized implants and advanced techniques to reconstruct bone loss and soft tissue damage.
Involves removing and replacing a damaged or loosened hip prosthesis. This complex surgery restores joint function, corrects alignment, and addresses bone or soft-tissue deficiencies caused by wear or infection.
For infected implants, a staged revision surgery may be performed—first removing the infected prosthesis, treating the infection, and later placing a new implant for restored joint function.
In cases with significant bone loss, bone grafts or custom implants are used to rebuild the joint structure, ensuring proper fixation and long-term stability.
Recovery after revision knee or hip replacement may take slightly longer than a primary replacement due to the complexity of the procedure. Most patients begin walking with support within a few days. Full recovery and strength restoration typically occur within 8–12 weeks, depending on bone healing, implant fixation, and rehabilitation progress. Regular physiotherapy and guided exercises play a key role in achieving optimal outcomes.
