Revision of joint arthroplasty
focus on complicated revisions of failed orthopedic surgery
Procedure description
xMed's experienced specialists and their teams focus on complicated revisions of failed orthopedic surgery. In general, a failed surgery can occur for multiple reasons, and treatment to correct this failure is usually comprehensive and technically challenging for the surgeon. If the failure occurred within 3-6 months following the initial reconstruction, the failure was either due to surgical technique, graft failure, or a rehabilitation program that was too aggressive. Failures that occur later (6 or more months following surgery) are usually due to a newly developed injury.
If it is believed that a failed reconstruction is causing the pain and instability, we will carefully identify the problem through a thorough exam, full patient history, physical exam, x-rays, and an MRI will be conducted. It is critical to understand the exact cause of the failure for success in the future and to plan a surgery revision technique that will lower the risk of a second failure. The revision process requires a great discipline of the patient and a strong partnership between the patient and the doctor. xMed specialists prepare an individual treatment plan for each patient. Treatment for a failed surgery may require staged procedures and could involve removing old fixation devices, and possibly bone grafting to correct widened or poorly positioned bone tunnels or sockets.
Arthroscopy usually requires only a short stay (2-3days) in a hospital, but it depends on the patient's condition and form of arthroscopy.
This form of surgery may be done while you are asleep under general anesthesia, or while you are awake under localized anesthesia. Your anesthesiologist will discuss this with you in advance.
