Revision Knee Replacement means that part or all of your previous knee replacement needs to be replaced with newer parts. This operation varies from very minor adjustments to major operations replacing significant amounts of osseous tissue. The typical joint replacement replaces between the bone ends with plastic or polyethylene inserted between them.
Pain is an important reason for revision surgery. Usually, the cause is clear but not always. Pain could be new or a remnant of the previous degenerative joint.
Plastic (polyethylene) wear is another reason for revision surgery. This is one of the easier revisions where only the plastic insert is changed.

Instability is one of the important reasons for revision surgery. This means the joint balance and anatomy are not adjusted at the previous surgery. No matter the reason is, our team evaluates the patient very carefully before the surgery. It’s crucial to enlighten all of the potential reasons for the revision necessity.

Surgery is not a pleasant prospect for anyone. It comes with certain risks. For that reason, evaluating all the patients very carefully and in detail prevents unnecessary invasive procedures. Also, with experience, all complications can be managed better.
