Dr. Abhinav Kesarkar | Orthopedic Surgeon In Nagpur
Patients may require knee revision surgery if they experience:
Persistent pain in the knee joint
Instability or loosening of the knee implant
Stiffness or reduced range of motion
Swelling and inflammation around the knee
Implant failure or mechanical issues
Infection around the prosthetic joint
Fractures around the implant site
The procedure involves:
Evaluation and Preoperative Planning – Detailed assessment, blood tests, and imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI) to determine implant condition.
Removal of Old Implant – The failed or loose implant is carefully removed along with any damaged bone or tissue.
Bone Reconstruction – Damaged bone is reconstructed using bone grafts or metal augments to provide structural support.
Placement of New Implant – A new knee prosthesis is fixed securely to restore alignment, stability, and function.
Postoperative Care – Includes pain management, antibiotics to prevent infection, and early physiotherapy for mobility.
The surgery duration and hospital stay are generally longer than primary knee replacement due to its complexity.
While knee revision surgery is usually performed due to unavoidable causes, certain preventive measures after primary knee replacement can reduce future revision needs:
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on the implant
Follow physiotherapy and exercise protocols to strengthen surrounding muscles
Avoid high-impact activities that can damage the prosthesis
Attend regular follow-ups for implant monitoring
Manage underlying conditions like diabetes to reduce infection risks
✅ Relief from chronic knee pain
✅ Improved mobility and range of motion
✅ Correction of implant instability or mechanical issues
✅ Enhanced quality of life
✅ Restoration of knee function for daily activities
✅ Treatment of infections or fractures around the implant site
