Revision Knee Replacement Surgery

Because of their expertise, the surgeons at Total Joint Specialists are often asked to fix failed knee replacements. Although the reasons for failure are many, it is not unusual that the failure is related to an imperfection with the initial knee replacement. It is our opinion that you should not have a first-time knee replacement by any surgeon who does not have specific training and exclusive focus on knee replacement surgery.

Fortunately, revision, or “redo,” knee replacement surgery can often fix or improve failed or poorly done first-time knee replacements. In many cases, robotic assistance can provide significant value with revision knee replacement surgery. Although revision knee replacement surgeries are typically more difficult to recover from, many causes of failure or persistent pain after a first-time replacement can be improved by surgeons who dedicate their practice to knee replacements.
