Joint Revision
The Bone & Joint Center boasts a team of highly specialized orthopedic surgeons with extensive expertise in joint revision surgeries, dedicated to addressing complications or failures from previous procedures.
Numerous factors may necessitate joint revision surgery following an initial joint replacement. Over time, artificial joints may undergo wear and tear, with most knee and hip replacements providing up to two decades of functionality. However, younger adults undergoing joint replacement surgery may require revisions eventually to replace the initial joint prosthesis.
Additionally, joint implants can become loose due to friction or subsequent injuries, potentially weakening the surrounding bone structure. Infection, albeit rare, can manifest years after the initial joint replacement, leading to pain and stiffness and requiring revision surgery to rectify both the infection and its impact on the bone.
