Choosing the Best Orthopedic Surgeon for Your Revision Hip or Knee Replacement

Undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery is often seen as the final solution for relieving joint pain and restoring mobility. However, not every joint replacement is a permanent fix. Complications can occur, or the implants may wear out over time. When this happens, a revision hip or knee replacement may be necessary. Choosing the best orthopedic surgeon for your revision surgery is crucial to ensuring a successful outcome. At Robotic Hip and Knee Replacement LA, our experienced orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Farzin Kabaei, specializes in advanced revision surgeries, using cutting-edge technology to help patients regain their mobility and quality of life.

What Is Revision Joint Replacement?

A revision joint replacement is a procedure performed to correct or replace a failing artificial joint. While most hip and knee replacements are successful and long-lasting, some patients experience complications that require further intervention. The need for a revision can arise from a variety of issues, including:

• Implant loosening: Over time, the components of a joint replacement may loosen, leading to pain and instability.
• Wear and tear: Artificial joints are not immune to the effects of time, and the bearing surfaces of the prosthesis can wear down, causing discomfort and reduced mobility.
• Trauma or fractures: Injuries or fractures near the site of the joint replacement can complicate the initial surgery, necessitating a revision procedure.

Revision joint replacement surgeries are more complex than the original operation. The removal of old implants can cause damage to the surrounding bone and tissue, and in some cases, bone or tissue grafts may be needed to support the new implants. As a result, choosing a skilled and experienced surgeon is essential for a successful outcome.

Advances in Revision Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery

Over the past decade, there have been significant advancements in the technology and techniques used in revision hip and knee replacement surgeries. Dr. Farzin Kabaei utilizes the latest robotic technology at Robotic Hip and Knee Replacement LA to enhance precision and improve patient outcomes. Robotic-assisted surgery allows for more accurate implant placement, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and ensuring that the new joint functions as effectively as possible.

These technological advances have led to better outcomes for patients who require revision surgery. By using cutting-edge tools and techniques, Dr. Kabaei can address even the most complex joint replacement issues, helping patients regain their mobility and enjoy a better quality of life.

Why Experience Matters in Revision Joint Replacement

Choosing the right surgeon for your revision hip or knee replacement is critical due to the complexity of the procedure. Unlike a primary joint replacement, revision surgeries involve additional challenges, such as removing the old implant, addressing bone loss, and managing scar tissue from the previous surgery. These complications require an orthopedic surgeon with extensive experience and advanced skills.
