Revision joint replacement is a surgical procedure performed to replace or fix a previously implanted joint prosthesis that has failed or worn out over time.
Common causes include implant loosening, infection, wear and tear, fractures, or misalignment of the original prosthesis.
There are various types, including revision hip replacements, knee replacements, and shoulder replacements, each tailored to the specific issues of the patient.
Benefits include relief from pain, improved mobility, enhanced quality of life, and restoration of joint function.
Most patients begin walking with assistance within a day or two and gradually return to normal activities over several weeks.
“Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person’s physical, emotional, and mental states.”
Dr. Rajeev Kumar delivers expert orthopaedic care with precision, compassion, and innovation, restoring mobility and improving lives across India and Africa.
