JOINT REPLACEMENT: REVISION SURGERY


Also revision surgery on the artificial HIP or. Knee joints are part of my portfolio in endoprosthetics.

IN THE HIP JOINT, IN PARTICULAR INFECTION of the prosthesis material , EARLY SINTERING OF THE SHAFT or a fracture of the bone involving the implants are feared complications.

OFT can be re-operated with a primary hip implant when replacing the prosthesis. Sometimes special revision implants are also necessary.

COMMON REASONS for replacing a knee prosthesis include, in addition to infection, instability or persistent pain.

As part of a new knee operation, special implants necessary to replace defective ligaments (with a so-called coupled prosthesis ) or to build defects of the bone (by Augment or bone replacement material).

IF YOU SUFFER FROM COMPLICATIONS AFTER IMPLANTATION OF AN ARTIFICIAL JOINT , I WILL BE HAPPY TO ADVISE YOU ON POSSIBLE THERAPY OPTIONS! A PROSTHESIS CHANGE IS ALWAYS THE LAST OPTION.
