Understanding Revision Surgery
Solutions for when joint replacement requires additional procedures
When Do You Need Revision Surgery?
Revision surgery is needed when a previous joint replacement fails or develops problems. This can happen due to infection, loosening of the implant, wear of the plastic parts, bone loss around the implant, or stiffness that limits movement. While most joint replacements work well, some patients need expert help when problems occur.
Why Are Revision Cases So Complex?
Revision surgery is much more challenging than first-time joint replacement. The surgeon must remove the old implant, deal with bone loss, fight infection if present, and rebuild the joint with often severely damaged bone. This requires special surgical skills, custom implants, and extensive experience with difficult cases.
What Makes Dr. Fawzy Different?
Dr. Fawzy has spent decades mastering revision surgery, including cases with severe bone loss (called "severely deficient bone stock" in medical terms). He's even designed his own special implant system for the most difficult hip revision cases - an innovation that was nominated for an award by the British Orthopaedic Association.
