Sometimes a previous hip or knee replacement may wear out, loosen, or become infected over time. When that happens, a revision joint replacement is required to restore stability and function. Dr. Kamran Movassaghi specializes in complex revision surgery for patients throughout Pasadena, CA, and the surrounding region.
Why would I need a revision joint replacement?
Common reasons include implant loosening, infection, bone loss, dislocation, or wear of the original components.
What happens during the procedure?
Dr. Movassaghi removes the failing implant, repairs or rebuilds any damaged bone, and places a new, custom-fitted implant designed for durability and stability. These complex procedures require advanced training and precision planning, which Dr. Movassaghi provides through his fellowship expertise.
What are the benefits?
- Restored stability and mobility
- Elimination of pain or swelling from failed implants
- Reconstructed joint alignment and strength
- Renewed confidence in movement and daily activities
