Orthopedic Care — Dallas & Frisco
Revision Surgery
Evaluation and surgical management of failed or painful joint replacements.
When a Prior Replacement Is No Longer Working
Over time, an artificial joint can wear down, loosen, or become damaged due to normal use, injury, infection, or changes in the surrounding bone. When this happens, patients may begin to experience pain, instability, or reduced mobility again. Revision surgery addresses these issues — removing and replacing part or all of the original implant to restore stability and improve joint function.
Hip Revision Surgery
Hip revision surgery is a procedure performed to repair or replace a previous hip replacement that is no longer functioning as intended. Over time, an artificial hip joint can wear down, loosen, or become damaged due to normal use, injury, infection, or changes in the surrounding bone. When this happens, patients may begin to experience pain, instability, or reduced mobility again.
During revision surgery, your surgeon removes part or all of the original implant and replaces it with new components designed to restore stability and improve joint function. Because revision procedures address existing implants and surrounding tissue changes, they can be more complex than an initial hip replacement. However, the goal remains the same—to reduce pain, improve movement, and help you return to everyday activities with greater comfort and confidence.
Knee Revision Surgery
Knee revision surgery is a procedure performed to repair or replace a previous knee replacement that is no longer working properly. Over time, the artificial knee joint can wear out, loosen, or become damaged due to normal use, injury, infection, or changes in the surrounding bone. When this occurs, patients may begin to experience renewed pain, swelling, stiffness, or instability in the knee.
During knee revision surgery, your surgeon removes part or all of the original knee implant and replaces it with new components designed to restore stability, alignment, and smooth movement in the joint. Because revision surgery involves working around existing implants and bone changes, it can be more complex than the original knee replacement. The goal, however, is the same—to relieve pain, improve mobility, and help you return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.
