Expert revision knee surgery for failed prostheses
Revision knee surgery is a procedure performed to replace a previously implanted knee prosthesis that has failed due to wear and tear or other complications. During the surgery, the old prosthesis is removed and replaced with a new one. The procedure is more complex than the initial knee replacement surgery and requires a skilled surgeon with experience in revision procedures. The surgery involves removing any damaged or loose components of the old prosthesis, repairing any damaged bone, and then attaching the new prosthesis to the remaining healthy bone. Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the revision surgery, but typically involves physical therapy to help regain strength and mobility in the affected knee. Overall, revision knee surgery is an important option for patients who have experienced complications with their initial knee replacement and need a new prosthesis to restore function and alleviate pain.
