Revision Joint Replacement Surgery

Restoring Mobility When Primary Joint Replacements Fail

Revision Replacement Surgery is a complex procedure performed to correct problems arising from a previous joint replacement—whether it’s in the knee, hip, or shoulder. Over time, artificial joints may wear out, loosen, become infected, or fail due to various reasons. When this happens, revision surgery becomes necessary to remove the damaged implant and replace it with a new, more stable one.

Dr. Sabyasachi Bardhan specializes in revision joint surgeries, offering advanced, patient-specific solutions using 3D Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Mixed Reality navigation to ensure maximum precision and long-term success.

Why is Revision Surgery Needed?

While primary joint replacements are designed to last many years, several factors can contribute to their failure, including:

• Wear and Tear of the Implant

• Loosening or Instability

• Infection in the Joint

• Dislocation or Misalignment

• Fractures around the Prosthesis (Periprosthetic Fractures)

• Implant Breakage or Bone Loss

These issues can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and difficulty performing daily activities. Revision surgery aims to restore joint function, reduce pain, and improve the quality of life.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

Revision surgery is typically more demanding than the initial joint replacement. It involves:

• Assessment and Preoperative Planning:
  Advanced imaging and diagnostics to understand the failure and customize the surgical plan.

• Removal of the Old Implant:
  The previous prosthesis is carefully removed to minimize further bone loss or damage.

• Debridement and Bone Reconstruction:
  Infected or damaged tissue is cleaned, and bone loss is corrected using grafts or metal augments.

• Placement of the New Prosthesis:
  A specialized or custom implant is inserted, often with longer stems or more support to ensure stability.

• Precision Technology Assistance:
  Dr. Bardhan uses cutting-edge tools like 3D Robotics and AI-driven planning to ensure accurate alignment and long-term function.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Revision surgery typically involves a longer recovery period compared to primary replacement. Dr. Bardhan and his team guide patients through:

• Post-operative pain management

• Infection control and wound care

• Tailored physiotherapy plans

• Long-term follow-up to monitor implant performance and recovery

With consistent support, most patients regain significant mobility and experience long-lasting pain relief.
