Revision Total Knee Replacement in Bengaluru at VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic

At VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic, Bengaluru, Dr. Vijay Girish is highly experienced in performing Revision Total Knee Replacement — a complex surgical procedure done to replace or repair a previously implanted knee prosthesis that has failed due to wear, infection, loosening, instability, or mechanical issues. The goal of revision surgery is to restore proper joint function, eliminate pain, and ensure long-term stability of the knee joint.

Revision Total Knee Replacement is more intricate than the initial knee replacement, as it involves careful removal of the old implant, reconstruction of bone loss, and precise placement of the new prosthesis. With advanced surgical planning and state-of-the-art implant systems, patients can regain comfort, strength, and mobility for an improved quality of life.

What is Revision Total Knee Replacement?

Revision Total Knee Replacement is a surgical procedure performed when a primary knee replacement no longer functions properly. The surgery involves removing the damaged or loosened components and replacing them with specialized revision implants that offer better stability and support. It may also involve bone grafting to rebuild lost bone and ensure the new prosthesis fits securely. This advanced procedure helps restore alignment, relieve chronic pain, and enhance the overall biomechanics of the knee joint.

Benefits of Revision Total Knee Replacement

Revision Total Knee Replacement provides significant improvements in comfort, stability, and function for patients with failed primary implants:

Eliminates persistent knee pain caused by loosening, infection, or mechanical failure of the previous implant.
Restores joint stability and alignment, improving walking ability and balance.
Uses advanced implant systems designed for long-term durability and better motion control.
Reduces stiffness and improves range of motion after recovery and guided physiotherapy.
Enhances overall quality of life by enabling pain-free movement and restoring confidence in daily activities.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Patients typically stay in the hospital for a few days to monitor healing and implant stability.
Pain and swelling are managed with medications, ice therapy, and early mobilization techniques.
Physiotherapy begins soon after surgery to restore flexibility, strength, and joint coordination.
Most patients regain functional mobility within 6–12 weeks, depending on bone healing and implant type.
Long-term rehabilitation helps achieve optimal knee motion and ensures the longevity of the new implant.

At VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic, Bengaluru, Dr. Vijay Girish utilizes advanced diagnostic imaging, modern surgical tools, and high-quality revision implant systems to ensure successful outcomes in Revision Total Knee Replacement. Through precise surgical planning and structured physiotherapy, patients can regain stability, confidence, and improved knee performance for a more active lifestyle.
