Revision Joint Replacement

Correcting worn, loose, or infected previous knee and hip implants.

Revision joint replacement is a highly complex procedure designed to replace previous failing implants. Dr. Sai Dinesh specializes in managing bone loss, removing old cemented components, treating deep periprosthetic infections, and securing specialized long-stem revision implants to restore active stability.

Revision Indications

Revision arthroplasty is indicated for patients facing previous implant failures:

  • Aseptic Loosening: Failure of implant-to-bone cement bonds causing micro-motion pain.
  • Periprosthetic Infection: Treating bacterial joint biofilm using structured staged spacers.
  • Recurrent Dislocation: Resolving severe instability and muscle laxity around hip implants.

Procedural Stages

Stage 1: Diagnostic Workup

CT scans, bone scans, joint fluid aspirations, and inflammatory markers (CRP/ESR) to rule out infection.

Stage 2: Implant Extraction & Debridement

Carefully removing loose components, preserving bone stock, and cleaning damaged tissues.

Stage 3: Reconstruction

Using specialized augments, bone grafts, and long-stem revision implants to secure solid stability.
