A revision knee replacement is a specialized procedure performed when an earlier knee replacement has worn out, loosened, become infected, or is causing persistent pain or instability.
This surgery varies from very minor adjustments to massive operation replacing significant amounts of bone and prosthesis.
Revision surgeries are more challenging than primary knee replacements and require exceptional skill, experience, and advanced surgical techniques. These complex operations are much riskier than first-time knee replacement surgeries. All the risks associated with first-time knee replacement are present, but the chances of these complications occurring are greatly increased. But in the hands of a joint replacement specialist, the complexity of this operation minimizes.

Since all surgeons are not the same and have different training and experience, so the techniques are also different. Dr. Harprit performs this major surgery offering excellent pain relief after a failed primary TKR and there are currently very sophisticated implants available to recreate a knee joint with good motion and stability. His special training and experience in hip and knee replacement surgery, has made him achieve mastery in revision surgery, bringing good results.
