Understanding Primary Knee and Hip Replacement

Before delving into the complexities of revision surgeries, it's crucial to grasp the fundamentals of primary knee and hip replacement procedures. Gokhale Orthopedic Centre is committed to ensuring that patients have a clear understanding of these primary interventions. Primary knee replacement involves replacing damaged knee joints with prosthetic implants. The indications for this surgery range from severe arthritis to joint deformities. Similarly, primary hip replacement addresses conditions such as osteoarthritis and hip fractures, offering patients renewed mobility and relief from pain. The procedures involve meticulous surgical techniques and the use of high-quality components tailored to each patient. The expected outcomes are often transformative, with patients experiencing improved joint function and a significant reduction in pain during daily activities.

Causes and Indications for Revision Surgery

Despite the success of primary joint replacements, there are instances where a revision becomes necessary. Gokhale Orthopedic Centre specializes in identifying and addressing the causes of revision surgeries.

Revision knee replacement may be prompted by factors such as wear and tear of implants, infection, or instability and loosening of components. Similarly, revision hip replacement may be necessitated by implant wear, infection, or issues related to dislocation and instability. Identifying these indicators is crucial for timely intervention, and Gokhale Orthopedic Centre emphasizes thorough pre-operative evaluations, including diagnostic tests and imaging, to determine the most appropriate course of action.

The Revision Surgery Process

The intricacies of revision surgeries demand a meticulous approach. Gokhale Orthopedic Centre ensures a thorough process to optimize patient outcomes.

The pre-operative phase involves a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s health and the extent of damage to the joint. Surgical procedures include the removal of existing components, addressing any bone loss or damage, and skillful implantation of new components. The post-operative care and recovery phase focuses on rehabilitation and physical therapy tailored to each patient’s unique needs, with a clear timeline for expected recovery.
