Revision Knee Replacement Surgeon

December 27, 2022 645 people Latest news

When a knee replacement no longer functions correctly, revision surgery is often required. During this procedure, a surgeon replaces the old device with a new one. It’s important to note that a revision knee replacement doesn’t provide the same lifespan as the initial replacement (usually about 10 years rather than 20). The accumulated trauma, scar tissue, and mechanical breakdown of components lead to diminished performance. Revisions are also more susceptible to complications. A revision procedure is typically more complex than the original knee replacement surgery because the surgeon must remove the original implant, which would have grown into the existing bone. In addition, once the surgeon removes the prosthesis, there is less bone remaining. In some instances, a bone graft transplanting is a piece of bone transplanted from another part of the body, or a donor might be required to support the new prosthesis. A bone graft adds support and encourages new bone growth.
