What is Knee Revision Surgery?
Knee revision surgery is a specialised procedure where the reason for failure of old implant is determined and old implant is removed and replaced with a new implant. It is more complex than the first knee replacement because the bones, ligaments, and surrounding soft tissues need careful assessment.
