Revision TKR & THR

Revision Total Knee Replacement (TKR) and Revision Total Hip Replacement (THR) are complex orthopedic procedures performed to correct or replace a previously implanted joint prosthesis that has failed, worn out, or caused complications. Over time, joint implants may loosen, wear down, become infected, or cause instability and persistent pain, requiring a second surgery to restore proper function. Revision surgery is typically more challenging than primary replacement due to altered anatomy, bone loss, scar tissue, or weakened surrounding structures, and it demands advanced surgical expertise and specialized implant systems.

The goal of revision TKR and THR is to relieve pain, restore joint function, and improve the patient’s quality of life. These procedures involve the careful removal of the old implant, preparation of the joint for the new prosthesis, and ensuring precise alignment and fixation for long-term stability. Modern surgical techniques, including the use of robotic assistance and custom implants, have significantly improved the success rates of revision surgeries. A thorough preoperative evaluation, advanced imaging, and personalized planning are essential for optimal outcomes. With proper care and post-operative rehabilitation, patients undergoing revision joint replacement can regain mobility and resume daily activities with improved confidence and comfort.
