Difference between Revision Hip and Knee
Replacement

• Revision hip replacement
• Hip replacement is a mechanical device that is
  set before and at the time of the surgery. It is
  also known as a ball and socket. It restores the
  movement in the hip for the lifespan of the ball
  and socket prosthesis.
• Over time, this device fails due to mechanical
  and biological factors. In such cases, the
  operation is done again to fix the issue with the
  mechanical device. This reoperation is
  called revision hip replacement.

Difference between Revision Hip and Knee
Replacement

• Reasons for the revision hip replacement
• Several factors lead to the revision of hip
  replacement. These are
• Repetitive hip dislocation
• In the ball and socket device, the ball must
  remain inside the socket so that the mechanical
  device can work well and maintain the hip
  movement. However, certain conditions force the
  ball to come out of the socket. It is known as
  hip dislocation. The hip dislocation damages the
  major muscles and ligaments. It leads to further
  complications, and the doctor then advises the
  revision hip replacement.

Replacement

• 2. Mechanical failure of ball and socket
• The ball and socket parts move against each
  other. This continuous movement leads to the wear
  and tear of the mechanical device. Since younger
  people move faster, it leads to the breaking off
  of the parts of the mechanical device.
• The body considers these broken parts as foreign
  particles and creates an immune response against
  them in the hip area. It leads to the damage of
  bones in the hip. In severe conditions, it causes
  a bone fracture.
• The best hip replacement surgeon in
  Mumbai addresses this issue and implants new
  parts.

• 3. Infection in hip replacement
• It can occur at any time. Sometimes an infection
  in other body parts leads the bacteria to the hip
  area, which causes the infection. After
  diagnosing the infection, revision hip
  replacement is performed to treat it.
• Revision knee replacement
• After total knee replacement, patients may need
  the reoperation to fix the parts again or clean
  the bone surfaces. The prosthesis can be replaced
  partially or completely by the knee replacement
  surgeon in Mumbai. It is called revision knee
  replacement.

Difference between Revision Hip and Knee
Replacement

• Reasons for the revision knee replacement
• The reasons for the need for a revision knee
  replacement are
• Infection  Although the risk of infection is
  little in total knee replacement, its not nil.
  In such cases, knee revision is required.
• Instability  When soft tissues around the knee
  fail to provide stability, knee revision is used
  to treat it.
• Wear and tear  The mechanical wearing and
  tearing in the knee area get treated with knee
  revision.
