Revision Surgery

Revision Surgery is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Hip and knee replacement revision surgery is a specialized procedure performed to address issues or complications arising from a previous hip or knee joint replacement. The need for revision surgery may arise due to factors such as implant wear, loosening, infection, instability, or component failure. Unlike primary joint replacement, revision surgery is a more complex and challenging procedure, often involving the removal of the existing implants, thorough assessment of the joint and surrounding tissues, and the placement of new or revised components. The goal of hip and knee replacement revision surgery is to address problems, alleviate pain, and restore function in individuals who have experienced complications or failure of their initial joint replacement. The decision for revision surgery is carefully considered, taking into account factors such as the patient's overall health, the cause of the implant-related issues, and the potential for improved outcomes with the revision.
