Revision Knee Replacement Surgery in Ahmedabad
Performed by Dr. Ronak Patel at Synergy Hospital, New Ranip
What is Revision Knee Replacement?
Revision Knee Replacement is a procedure where a failed or painful knee implant is replaced with new components.
While primary knee replacements usually last 15–20 years, some may fail earlier due to infection, wear, loosening, or mechanical issues.
During revision surgery, Dr. Ronak Patel removes the old implant, treats any bone loss or infection, and fits new specialized components to restore joint stability and function.
