Revision Surgeries
Revision surgeries are complex procedures performed to repair or replace a previously implanted artificial joint that has failed due to wear, loosening, infection, or instability. Dr. Ramniwas Swarnkar possesses the specialized expertise required to address these challenging cases and restore joint function.
Reasons for Revision Surgery
Implant Wear and Loosening
Over time, joint implants can wear out or become loose from the bone, causing pain and requiring replacement.
Infection Management
Treating infections around the joint implant, which often involves removing the old implant, clearing the infection, and placing a new one.
Bone Loss and Fractures
Addressing fractures around the implant or significant bone loss using specialized revision implants and bone grafts.
Instability Correction
Correcting a joint that frequently dislocates or feels unstable due to implant malposition or soft tissue weakness.
