- Occasionally, total knee replacement surgery may need another surgery for a variety of reasons. This can occur either early or late after surgery.
- Common reasons for revision surgery include
- Infection
- Fracture
- Loosening of the parts of the implant
- Wear of the implant, such as excessive wear of the plastic over time
- Malposition of the components
- Instability (i.e. the ligaments are loose)
- Dr. Jennings can diagnosis and treat these conditions which may include a revision knee replacement surgery.
