Revision Joint Replacement in Hyderabad

What is Revision Joint Replacement?

Revision joint replacement is a corrective surgery performed to replace a previously implanted joint prosthesis that has failed due to wear, infection, dislocation, loosening, or fracture.

Unlike a primary joint replacement, revision surgery is more complex, requires specialized implants, and demands high surgical expertise.

When is Revision Surgery Needed?

You may need revision surgery if you experience:

Persistent joint pain or swelling
Loosening or dislocation of the implant
Joint instability or deformity
Limited range of motion after replacement
Infection at the surgical site
Implant wear and tear over time
Fracture near or around the implant

Types of Revision Surgeries We Perform
