Revision Hip and Knee Replacement in Huntsville, AL

Revision surgery is a procedure performed when a previous hip or knee replacement has experienced complications or has worn out over time. Often a more complex surgery, compared to the initial joint replacement, involves replacing components of a previous hip or knee replacement that have become loose, damaged, infected, or worn out.

Before proceeding with revision surgery, Dr. Brad Wills and his team will thoroughly evaluate your specific case and discuss the potential risks, benefits, and expected outcomes with you.

During revision joint replacement surgery, we remove the old or damaged implants. Specialized implants are often used to rebuild the bone structure and ensure proper alignment. We then position the new components to restore joint stability and functionality. The goal is to decrease pain, improve your range of motion, and improve your quality of life.

Both revision hip and knee replacement surgeries often require longer operative times and involve more complex techniques than initial joint replacements. Recovery and rehabilitation may take longer as well.
