Revision Surgery
Revision surgery is a specialized orthopaedic procedure performed to address complications or unsatisfactory outcomes from previous surgery. It aims to correct issues that may have arisen, such as implant failure, infection, implant loosening, or persistent pain. At London Ortho Hospital, we understand the importance of revision surgery in restoring mobility and improving the overall quality of life for our patients.
Causes
Revision surgery may be necessary due to a variety of factors, including implant failure, infection, implant wear and tear, joint instability, or limited range of motion. These issues can cause discomfort, hinder mobility, and impact daily activities.
When to See the Doctor
If you have undergone previous orthopaedic surgery and are experiencing persistent pain, swelling, joint stiffness, difficulty bearing weight, or a decrease in the effectiveness of the initial surgery, it is important to seek medical attention. Consulting with an orthopaedic specialist will help determine if revision surgery is required.
Treatment and Surgery Options
The treatment approach for revision surgery depends on the underlying cause. It may involve replacing or repairing the failed implant, addressing infection, correcting alignment issues, or restoring stability to the joint. Our experienced orthopaedic surgeons at London Ortho Hospital will evaluate your condition, perform diagnostic tests, and develop a tailored treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
