A member asked:
Can you tell me about a revision of a total knee replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More risk: It really depends on why the revision is done, but in general revision surgery does carry a higher risk of infection, pain, and complication than does primary knee replacement. But the data shows an improvement in pain after the surgery. It may involve removing and replacing some or all of the components.
