Restoring Comfort, Mobility & Quality of Life
Joint replacement surgery has helped millions of people live pain-free and active lives. However, in some cases, an artificial joint may wear out, loosen, or develop complications over time. When this happens, revision joint replacement surgery becomes the best solution to restore movement and reduce pain.
At Dr. Shivade’s clinic, advanced techniques and personalized care ensure patients receive safe and effective treatment for failed or problematic joint replacements.
What is Revision Joint Replacement?
Revision joint replacement is a second surgery performed to replace or repair a previously implanted artificial joint. Unlike primary joint replacement, this procedure is more specialized because it involves correcting issues from the earlier surgery while preserving bone and surrounding tissues.
It is commonly performed for:
- Knee joint replacements
- Hip joint replacements
- Shoulder joint replacements (in selected cases)
Why is Revision Surgery Needed?
Over time, artificial joints may stop functioning properly due to various reasons, such as:
✔️ Wear and tear of the implant
✔️ Loosening of the joint components
✔️ Infection around the implant
✔️ Joint instability or dislocation
✔️ Persistent pain or stiffness
✔️ Implant damage or fracture
Early consultation helps prevent further complications and improves surgical outcomes.
Symptoms That May Indicate the Need for Revision Surgery
You may need medical evaluation if you experience:
- Increasing joint pain after replacement surgery
- Swelling or inflammation around the joint
- Difficulty walking or performing daily activities
- Reduced joint movement
- Feeling of instability in the joint
- Recurrent infections or fever
How is Revision Joint Replacement Performed?
Revision surgery is more complex than the first joint replacement. The procedure typically involves:
- Careful removal of the old implant
- Treatment of damaged bone or tissue
- Placement of a new, specialized implant
- Restoration of joint stability and alignment
Advanced surgical planning and modern implants help achieve better long-term results.
