Revision Joint Replacement
Reconstruction Excellence
When a previous joint replacement fails or wears out, revision surgery demands the highest level of expertise. Dr. Chirag Patel specialises in complex revision cases.
How We Treat This
Revision Total Knee Replacement
Removal and replacement of a failed or worn knee implant. Complex surgery requiring specialised implants and bone reconstruction techniques.
- ✓ Failed implant removal & reconstruction
- ✓ Bone graft and augmentation
- ✓ Specialised revision implant systems
- ✓ Deformity correction capability
Revision Total Hip Replacement
Replacement of a failed hip implant. Often requires bone stock management, specialised stems, and acetabular reconstruction.
- ✓ Acetabular and femoral reconstruction
- ✓ Modular revision implant systems
- ✓ Infection eradication protocols
- ✓ Long-term stability focus
Periprosthetic Fracture Management
Fractures occurring around an existing joint implant require specialised management combining fracture fixation and implant revision.
- ✓ Simultaneous fracture fixation + revision
- ✓ Custom fixation strategies
- ✓ Stem augmentation techniques
- ✓ Rapid mobilisation protocols

Frequently Asked
How do I know if I need revision surgery?+
Signs include increasing pain, instability, stiffness, visible implant loosening on X-ray, or infection. A consultation will determine the cause.
How complex is revision surgery?+
Revision surgery is significantly more complex than primary joint replacement. It requires specialist training and advanced implant systems.
What is the recovery like after revision?+
Recovery is typically longer than primary replacement — 3–6 months for full recovery depending on the complexity of the revision.
Can all failed implants be revised?+
In most cases yes. Dr. Patel will assess bone quality, infection status, and implant type to determine the best reconstruction plan.
