Revision Knee Replacement

Total Knee replacement is one of the most successful procedures in orthopaedics. Patients undergoing Total Knee Replacement not only get pain relief but also improved mobility. Knee Implant consists of Titanium parts and some plastic parts. Due to wear and tear over 10-15 years the implant becomes loose at the end where it is attached to the bone and this becomes a painful condition. Sometimes the plastic part also gets damaged due to wear and tear and needs to be replaced. In some cases, the implant gets infected and thus needs to be removed.

Revision Knee Replacement surgery at Anand Hospital Purnia, Bihar can be done in 1 or 2 stages. If the implant is loose or has some other malfunctioning then a single stage surgery can be done. However if the implant is infected then in the first stage, the implant is removed and the joint is washed with antibiotics. The infection present in the body is then treated through a course of antibiotics given intravenously. Once the patient is free of all infections then a new implant is placed in the second stage which is normally done after 3 months of the first stage.

Surgical Procedure

Although Total Knee Replacement or Revision Knee Replacement have the same goal of relieving the pain and improve function but revision surgery is different than primary total knee replacement. It is a longer, more complex procedure that requires extensive planning, and specialized implants and tools to achieve a good result.

During hip revision surgery at Anand Hospital Purnia, Bihar, your surgeon, Dr K S Anand will remove all or part of your artificial knee joint and replace it with a new one. There are different types of revision surgery. In some cases, only one implant or component of the prosthesis has to be revised. Other times, all three components i.e. femoral, tibial, and patellar need to be removed or replaced and the bone around the knee needs to be rebuilt with metal parts or bone graft.

Damage to the bone may make it difficult for the doctor to use standard total knee implants for revision knee replacement. The implant for revision knee replacement surgery is costlier than the implant of total knee replacement. The implant of revision knee surgery has longer thicker stem that fits deeper inside the bone for extra support.
