Revision Hip & Knee Replacement: Assessment, Treatment & Recovery

Revision surgery assesses and treats problems involving a previous hip or knee replacement. It requires careful investigation because causes and complexity vary.

What we assess and consider

Review of prior surgery and symptoms; imaging and appropriate investigations for loosening, wear, instability, infection or bone loss; individualized planning with specialist follow-up.

Common reasons for assessment

  • Pain or instability after joint replacement
  • Implant wear or loosening
  • Suspected infection or bone loss requiring investigation
Recovery and next steps: Recovery depends on the reason for revision and the reconstruction required. Weight-bearing and rehabilitation instructions must be individualized. Treatment decisions are made after an individual clinical assessment; not every patient needs surgery.
