About Revision Knee Replacement surgery
Total Knee Replacement is usually a very successful procedure and enables patients to continue living active lives free of severe pain. From time to time an implant may fail or wear out and need to be replaced. The procedure of replacing this prosthesis with a new implant is called revision knee replacement surgery.

This all needs to be consider prior to making any decision.
