Causes of Joint Replacement Failure
Implant loosening or wear over time
Infections at or near the implant site
Fracture around the implant
Improper positioning or alignment of the implant
Allergic reactions to implant materials
Repeated dislocation or instability
Poor bone quality leading to failure in fixation
Prevention of Joint Replacement Failure
While not all failures can be prevented, the risk can be significantly reduced by:
Choosing an experienced orthopedic surgeon for joint replacement
Following pre-surgery evaluation protocols for infections or bone health
Maintaining ideal body weight to reduce stress on the joint
Following post-operative physiotherapy and rehabilitation diligently
Avoiding high-impact activities that strain the joint
Monitoring blood sugar levels in diabetic patients to prevent infections
Timely follow-ups to assess implant function and bone health
Procedure: Failed Joint Replacement Correction
1. Diagnosis and Assessment
Dr. Kesarkar performs a detailed clinical evaluation, imaging studies (X-rays, CT, MRI), and blood tests to identify the exact cause of failure.
2. Revision Surgery
Revision joint replacement involves removing the old implant, treating infection if present, and placing a new specialized revision implant. This surgery is more complex than the first replacement and requires high surgical expertise.
3. Bone Reconstruction (if needed)
Bone grafts or metal augments may be used to rebuild lost bone structure and provide stable fixation.
4. Infection Control
In cases of infection, a two-stage revision may be performed. First, the infected implant is removed, and a temporary antibiotic spacer is placed to clear infection. After infection resolution, a new implant is placed.
5. Post-Operative Care and Rehabilitation
After revision surgery, specialized physiotherapy is crucial for restoring mobility, strength, and function.
