What it is: A joint replacement revision is a surgery performed to replace a previously implanted joint replacement that has failed. This failure can happen for various reasons, such as wear and tear, loosening of the implant, infection, or injury. Why you might need it: There are several reasons why someone might need a joint replacement revision. Some of the most common reasons include: Pain: If you are experiencing significant pain in the joint that has been replaced, it could be a sign that the implant is failing. Instability: If your joint feels unstable or loose, it could be a sign that the implant is not properly attached to the bone. Stiffness: If your joint is stiff and difficult to move, it could be a sign of wear and tear on the implant. Infection: If you develop an infection around the joint replacement, it will need to be removed and replaced. #kneereplacement #kneereplacementfailure #kneereplacementrevision #kneereplacementsurgery #kneepain #orthopedicsurgeon #surgeon
