What is a Total Knee Revision?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- If a knee replacement fails for any reason a second knee operation may be needed. This second knee replacement surgery is called a revision.
A knee replacement may need to be revised for infection, loosening, fracture or other reason.
Revision surgery is a big deal, the risks are greater than the first knee replacement surgery and the outcomes are not as good.
The implants for a revision are different than a routine knee replacement to make up for instability or to better anchor the parts to the bone.
Here I give a brief overview of total knee revision surgery. You will have to have a discussion with your surgeon as each surgery is unique to you and your problem that requires additional surgery.

I had the the rods in both bones. So a total knee revision. My surgeon is the best. The original replacement loosened because of bone failure. I did not go back to the original surgeon. My new surgeon figured it all out and is a miracle doctor. Thank you Dr. Wood. I would never go to another surgeon ever except him. The best👍👍👍👍
Brilliantly and clearly explained. Thank you for taking the time to put people at their ease
Glad you found it helpful
Knee was absolutely perfect ten I got rear ended by a vehicle as a pedestrian. Now I’m told it’s going to be a revision unless he can’t. Was only 6 years old. No pain or was perfect.
Watching for your knee revision after infection. Thanks so much.
I am getting a big revision soon, with a bar in both the femur and tibia. Because of bone damage it may need a longer bar in the tibia!
Thank you making the surgery clearer.
Glad that I could help. Good luck with your surgery.
I had both knees replaced (TKR) 19 years ago. I had absolutely no problems with them and was so happy I had them done. Ten years ago, I had a botched foot surgery which cost me one toe and a staph infection (MRSA) in my left knee replacement. We did the abridement since we caught it early, and I did 6 weeks of IV antibiotics. Turns out that it didn't get it all, so I've been living the past 10 years with a low grade infection and taking antibiotics every day. Finally, it started flaring up a bit, so we just decided to do the revision. I'm 5 days out from the last surgery where the block was removed and I got a new replacement. I am doing very well so far, for which I am very grateful. I was so impressed by your video. You explained everything so well. I wish I had seen it prior to all this I've been going through as I wouldn't have been quite as apprehensive. You have no idea how much videos like yours help us or maybe you actually do know as I see you have done several. God bless you, and thank you so very much!
Thank you for the kind words. Sorry to hear about what you have been through but glad you found the information helpful.
Thank you so much for your explanation.
You are welcome!
Thanks for the explaination. I had a TKR 7 months ago and I am dealing with persistant swelling, instability and some pain. I fell at about 10 weeks post-op and I'm worried that the implant was loosened by a fracture? I go to see the surgeon next week, but I'm very concerned that I will need revision surgery.
Thanks for the clear concise information. I had a total knee replacement 1 month ago and am considering whether to run again (but no till at least 6 months.). What I have been told is that high impact usage will wear it out sooner. So l have to weigh that risk against the benefits. I was an age group competitive triathlete before. But maybe the revision is would not be too bad. The other factor is that I turn 70 this year so am I really worried about what happens 20 years from now?
I had a TKR 25 yrs ago and based on current CT pics the upper and lower replacements are still intact but my issue is with patellofemoral polyethylene wear. Because of the age of the replacements would it be better to do a total knee revision versus just repairing the patella area? I ask this to avoid having to repeat revision surgery in a few years when the original replacements loosen.
I have watched many of your videos and they have been super helpful. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for info. Going in today for eval. My knee replacement is three years old. Been “noises” and “crackling” right from the start. Very loose and now is locking up and the pain is excruciating. Is that revision worthy or something else!
Has anyone have a rod off plastic and it breaks off in knee
Is having just the plastic insert replaced as invasive as a TKR, and is the recovery time and rehab also similar?
It is still a surgery but if it is just the plastic that is typically less painful and an easier recovery as opposed to changing all of the metal parts.
I have had both knees replaced and I am having problems with my left knee replacement it's making a loud cracking sound and it feels like it's going to pop out of joint what should I do
Sounds like you should make an appointment with your surgeon for an evaluation and x-rays
@@dradamrosen thank you I will do
