A revision knee repair procedure, also called a knee arthroplasty, is a procedure that’s performed when there are complications that occur after a knee replacement surgery has taken place. It is used to address any issues that affect the overall quality of life such as the following:
- Stability: Ensuring the new implant, as well as the components, used in the procedure are secured to the bone properly providing stability and prevent further loosening.
- Pain: Decreased pain that may have developed from implant malalignment of the original knee replacement.
- Improved Function: Range of motion, and mobility of the knee joint become improved.
- Longevity: Increasing the life cycle of the knee replacement.
Revision knee repair surgeries are more complex than initial knee replacements because of various factors.
