Revision Knee Replacement
Repairs and replacements to previous procedures
Surgical revision to improve comfort and function
Revision knee replacement entails changing some or all of a knee replacement’s parts as well as taking care of associated problems including infection, bone loss, or soft tissue injury.
This surgery is typically performed to address complications such as component wear, peri-prosthetic fractures, instability, prosthetic loosening, infections, and progression of arthritis in partially replaced joints.
The complexity of revision knee surgery varies, with some cases needing simple procedures and others requiring more extensive operations.
At your consultation, Mr Freedman will take a thorough clinical history, perform a detailed examination and review the results of your scans to assess as to whether you may benefit from arthroscopy.
Mr Freedman plans meticulously for revision joint replacement surgery. He collaborates closely with orthopaedic industry to prepare for revision surgery. As demonstrated by some of the illustrations on this page, each procedure is pre-planned extensively.
Benefits of revision knee replacement procedures
- Enhanced Functionality: Revision knee replacement can greatly restore mobility that may have been limited by a failing original implant.
- Focused Comfort: Revision knee replacements can target the underlying causes of discomfort and chronic pain, improving quality of life.
- Stable Movement: Revision procedures can fix instability issues such as dislocations or loose components. By adjusting or replacing these parts, the surgery improves the stability of the knee joint, reducing the risk of further instability and increasing confidence in movement.
- Extended Durability: Utilizing advanced materials and techniques, revision knee replacements can lengthen the lifespan of the knee joint.
- Tailored Implants: Mr Freedman employs 3D mapping and printing to create custom implants, ensuring the best possible fit and function.
Case Examples
Mr Freedman’s training & experience
An Internationally-trained and renowned Orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Freeman brings over a decade of experience to providing a meticulous standard of care.
The success of technically complicated surgery depends on several elements, but one important factor is having a highly-trained and experienced surgeon.
Mr Freedman completed a fellowship in the UK to train in hip arthroscopy with Professor Damian Griffin, a world-renowned expert in hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery.
While on fellowship in the UK, Mr Freedman’s supervisor, Professor Griffin, received an invitation to observe a new hip replacement technique in Paris with Dr. Frederic Laude, a world expert in Direct Anterior hip surgery. As fate would have it, other commitments prevented Prof. Griffin from attending, so he sent Mr Freedman in his place, and he was amazed by the innovative procedure, the minimal incision, and the quick recovery of patients. Mr Freedman later returned to Paris to complete a fellowship under Dr Frederic Laude.
Upon returning to Australia, Mr Freedman, successfully implemented anterior approach hip replacements in his practice, leading to rapid growth in his case numbers and the eventual standardisation of this technique, even for complex surgeries.
