Revision Knee Replacement is a specialized surgical procedure performed to correct or replace a previously implanted knee joint that has failed due to wear, loosening, infection, instability, or persistent pain. This surgery is more complex than primary knee replacement and requires advanced expertise, precision, and careful planning.
Dr. Harish Bansal, a National Board Certified Arthroplasty Specialist, has extensive experience in performing revision knee replacements. With his advanced training in joint reconstruction and robotic-assisted surgeries, he offers patients a second chance at mobility, comfort, and improved quality of life.
Unlike a first-time (primary) knee replacement, revision surgery involves removing the old implant—sometimes partially or completely—and replacing it with a new, often custom-made implant.
The procedure may also require rebuilding bone with grafts or special implants, addressing ligament instability, and treating infection if present.
Common reasons for revision knee replacement include:
Dr. Bansal uses advanced diagnostic tools, including blood tests, X-rays, and CT/MRI scans, to evaluate the joint condition and plan a tailored surgical approach. His meticulous surgical technique ensures the new implant is placed accurately for long-term stability and function.
Post-operative care includes physiotherapy, infection prevention, and joint-strengthening rehabilitation. With proper follow-up, patients can expect significant pain relief, improved joint movement, and restored confidence in daily activities.
If you’ve had a knee replacement in the past and are now experiencing pain, swelling, or instability, a consultation with Dr. Harish Bansal can help determine whether a revision knee replacement is the right next step for you.
