Revision Surgery

Expert re-do surgery for failed or painful joint replacements and earlier spine or fracture operations.

Overview

About Revision Surgery

Occasionally, a joint replacement or an earlier operation may wear out, loosen, become infected or fail to heal. Revision surgery replaces or corrects the failed implant to restore a stable, pain-free joint.

Revision cases are more complex than first-time surgery and need careful planning, specialised implants and experience in complex reconstruction.

Conditions Treated

  • Loosening of a knee or hip replacement
  • Implant wear or breakage
  • Infection after joint replacement
  • Instability or dislocation of an implant
  • Failed fracture fixation
  • Failed earlier spine surgery

When to See a Doctor

  • New pain in a replaced joint
