Revision Knee Replacement Introduction
With wear, the original components of a Total Knee Replacement break down and loosen from the bone surface they were once firmly attached to. Revision Knee Replacement involves the exchange of some or all worn components of the primary Total Knee Replacement. The breakdown of the original components and loosening from the bone surfaces causes pain in the joint. Your doctor will determine the degree of complexity for this procedure based on the amount of loosening and associated damage to the underlying bone surfaces that may have occurred over time.
