You may need a knee revision if your previous knee replacement has worn out, loosened, or become infected. Some patients may also need revision surgery due to instability, stiffness, or fracture around the implant. Due to the precision required and the multi-step process, a skilled surgeon with many years of experience is a must. Fortunately, this has long been one of Dr. Winegar’s specialties.

What Knee Revision Surgery Involves

The procedure involves removing the old partial or total knee implant and replacing it with a new one. Dr. Winegar carefully evaluates each case to determine the best implant and surgical approach. The surgery may involve rebuilding bone with grafts or specialized implants to ensure a stable foundation for the new components.

What to Expect After Knee Revision Surgery

Recovery from knee revision surgery is similar to a primary knee replacement but may take slightly longer. Physical therapy is essential to regain strength and mobility. Patients can expect a smooth procedure, recovery, and a long-lasting new implant with Dr. Winegar’s expertise.
