Revision Joint Replacement
A revision joint replacement is a specialized surgical procedure performed when a previously implanted artificial joint (such as a hip or knee replacement) fails or wears out over time. While primary joint replacements are designed to last many years, certain factors such as implant loosening, infection, wear, or trauma may lead to pain, instability, or loss of joint function — requiring a revision surgery.
Revision joint replacement is a more complex and demanding procedure than the first surgery, requiring advanced planning, specialized implants, and expert surgical skill. Dr. Dibya brings extensive experience and precision in handling such complex revision cases to help patients regain mobility and quality of life.
When Is a Revision Joint Replacement Needed?
A revision joint replacement is a specialized surgical procedure performed when a previously implanted artificial joint, such as a hip or knee replacement, fails due to loosening, wear and tear, infection, fracture, or instability. Over time, implants can become worn or displaced, leading to pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. In such cases, revision surgery involves carefully removing the old prosthesis, repairing any bone or tissue damage, and replacing it with a new, specialized implant designed for long-term stability and function. This procedure is more complex than the initial replacement and requires advanced planning, precision, and surgical expertise. With extensive experience in managing failed joint replacements, Dr. Dibya uses modern techniques, computer-assisted navigation, and high-quality revision implants to ensure optimal alignment, pain relief, and restoration of movement, helping patients regain comfort and confidence in their daily activities.
The Revision Process
Revision joint replacement involves carefully removing the old implant, treating any damaged bone or infected tissue, and replacing it with a new, specialized prosthesis designed for long-term stability.
Â
Comprehensive Evaluation – Advanced imaging and lab tests to identify the cause of implant failure.
Preoperative Planning – Selection of suitable revision implants and bone grafts if necessary.
Implant Removal & Bone Restoration – Safe extraction of the old prosthesis while preserving as much healthy bone as possible.
Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy – Gradual return to walking and mobility under expert supervision.
Reconstruction & New Implant Fixation – Placement of a revision implant using modern fixation techniques.
Why Revision Surgery Is More Complex
Revision surgery often involves:
Removal of old cement or implants
Management of bone loss and scarring
Restoring joint alignment and stability
Preventing or treating infection
Ensuring implant fixation in compromised bone
This requires specialized expertise, experience, and modern infrastructure — all of which are key strengths at Dr. Dibya’s practice.

FAQ'S
Common causes include implant loosening, infection, bone loss, fractures around the implant, recurrent dislocations, or natural wear over time. In some cases, improper positioning or excessive stress on the joint can also lead to early failure.
Revision surgery is more complex because it involves removing old implants, managing bone loss, and restoring the joint’s anatomy. It requires specialized implants, careful planning, and advanced surgical techniques for the best outcomes.
Yes. Though it’s a technically demanding surgery, when performed by an experienced orthopedic surgeon like Dr. Dibya, revision joint replacement is safe and effective. Proper diagnosis, sterile techniques, and postoperative care minimize risks.
Recovery is usually slower than a primary joint replacement, depending on bone condition and implant type. Most patients start walking with assistance within a few days and continue improving over the next 8–12 weeks with guided physiotherapy.
Some discomfort is normal in the initial healing phase, but it gradually decreases as recovery progresses. The goal of revision surgery is to eliminate chronic pain and restore stable, pain-free movement.
Possible risks include infection, stiffness, blood clots, or implant loosening over time. However, with proper surgical expertise, preoperative planning, and rehabilitation, these risks are significantly minimized.
If your replaced joint is painful, swollen, unstable, or not functioning as before, it’s best to consult Dr. Dibya for a detailed evaluation. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent further damage and improve surgical outcomes.
