These surgeries are often more challenging than primary joint replacement procedures and require advanced surgical expertise, detailed planning, and precision-based reconstruction techniques.

Dr. Siddharth M. Shah is a leading Orthopaedic & Revision Joint Replacement Surgeon in Mumbai with extensive international fellowship training from the UK, USA, Australia, and Singapore. He specializes in managing complex knee and hip reconstruction cases using advanced surgical approaches and modern implant technologies.

Revision joint replacement aims to relieve pain, restore joint stability, improve movement, and help patients regain mobility and confidence in daily life after a failed or problematic joint replacement surgery.

Conditions Treated

Dr. Siddharth M. Shah provides advanced treatment for complicated and failed knee and hip replacement conditions requiring specialized revision surgery and joint reconstruction.

Knee Conditions

• Failed Knee Replacement: Persistent pain, stiffness, or poor function following a previous knee replacement surgery.

• Implant Loosening: Loosening of artificial knee implants causing instability, pain, and difficulty walking.

• Periprosthetic Fractures: Fractures occurring around knee replacement implants due to trauma or weakened bone.

• Knee Joint Infection: Deep infection around the knee implant requiring staged revision surgery and infection control.

• Severe Knee Deformity: Complex deformities and bone loss affecting alignment, balance, and joint function.

Hip Conditions

• Failed Hip Replacement: Ongoing hip pain, instability, or reduced mobility after previous hip replacement surgery.

• Hip Implant Wear & Loosening: Wear of artificial joint surfaces causing pain and mechanical failure of implants.

• Hip Joint Infection: Infection around the hip prosthesis leading to pain, swelling, and implant complications.

• Recurrent Hip Dislocation: Repeated hip instability and dislocation following previous hip replacement surgery.

• Complex Bone Loss: Severe bone deficiency around the hip joint requiring advanced reconstruction techniques.

Symptoms

Patients requiring complex or revision knee and hip replacement surgery often experience worsening symptoms affecting mobility, joint stability, and overall quality of life.

• Persistent Joint Pain: Continuous pain in the knee or hip even after previous replacement surgery.

• Difficulty Walking: Trouble walking, climbing stairs, or performing routine daily activities due to instability or pain.

• Implant Instability: Feeling of looseness, imbalance, or repeated giving way of the joint.

• Swelling & Stiffness: Recurrent swelling, inflammation, and reduced flexibility around the replaced joint.

• Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty bending, sitting, standing, or moving the knee or hip comfortably.

• Signs of Infection: Fever, redness, warmth, drainage, or severe pain around the operated joint.

Causes

Several factors may lead to failure of a previous knee or hip replacement and require revision or complex reconstructive surgery.

• Implant Wear & Tear: Gradual wear of artificial joint components over time causing loosening and pain.

• Infection: Deep joint infections affecting implant stability and surrounding bone structures.

• Trauma or Fracture: Injuries around the replaced joint causing implant damage or bone fractures.

• Joint Instability: Improper alignment, ligament imbalance, or recurrent dislocation leading to implant failure.

• Bone Loss: Loss of bone stock around the implant making the joint unstable and painful.

Treatment

Complex and revision joint replacement surgeries involve removing failed implants, correcting deformities, treating infection if present, and reconstructing the joint using advanced revision implants and surgical techniques.

• Revision Knee Replacement: Replacement of failed knee implants using advanced revision prostheses for improved stability and movement.

• Revision Hip Replacement: Removal and replacement of worn or failed hip implants to restore joint function and mobility.

• Complex Joint Reconstruction: Advanced reconstruction procedures for severe bone loss, deformity, or instability.

• Infection Management: Specialized staged procedures for treating infected knee and hip replacements.

• Rehabilitation Programs: Personalized rehabilitation and physiotherapy plans for recovery, mobility, and strength improvement.
