Many patients go through the knee and hip surgeries and later on face many hard consequences regarding the knee and hip implant. It is because of the loosening of the duplicate metal parts which are fixed during the surgery. In most of the cases, a need of revised surgery is required. The products used at the primary level of surgery are so out of condition that they cause severe pain to the patients. Overweight of any patient can also be the reason of loosing of the components of the artificial joints which ultimately results into revised surgery. Many other reasons can also cause defective implant of knee or hip even. In case of knee replacement, the condition of the products gradually worsens which anyhow results into the same procedure that is followed again for fixing the problems. Knee is a part which bears the maximum weight so when pressure is put on the limbs it starts loosening and becomes a cause of defective knee implant. The artificial joints can anytime require revised surgery as there may be many other reasons for the breakdown or loosening of the joints. According to the learned people, revision surgery is more risky than the first knee implant surgery. Surgeries are done with an aim to lessen the pain and problems of the patients but it does not happen in most of the cases. A second surgery of knee involves more severe pain with less movability and more stress which worsens the condition of the patient as well. Risk factors which are involved in the basic level of surgery are also increased in the case of revised surgery. The patient may also face the problem of shorter limb after the second operation of the knee. Apart from shorter limb, less range to move and movability of the knee and other related joints may also decrease with revised implant. This decision of second time operation of the knee can be much frustrating and difficult for the patients. To bring it to everyone's knowledge, always remember that knee implant is replaced only when the products manufactured for the surgery are not proper or the material used to make them was not proper. Hip surgeries are the most common procedures which are performed on many patients to deal with their arthritis problem. Orthopedic surgeons find it very common to operate anyone for hip surgery. No doubt, this treatment of hip surgery is widely accepted by people and also has maximum success ratio as compared to other surgeries. But as exceptions are always there, this cannot be true that there might be no problem after operating or in the products itself. So, whenever the patient goes through the problem which is anyhow concerned with hip, then revision surgery of the hip comes into scene. Many defective hip replacements are done only because of the prosthesis wear out. The life span of hip implants ranges from 10 years to over 30 years. Then also you cannot ensure that any particular implant will last for how long and the result is same. With the time period, the hip implant also wears out and requires revised surgery. But in most of the cases, hip implant replacement is only done due to the bad condition of the implanted products. They may be fractured, loosened or the components may wear prematurely and patients may get infected. Apart from all these reasons, breaking down of the supporting bone around the implant can also be a valid reason for the revised surgery.
