Typical symptoms
- • Start-up pain or pain that never settled after primary surgery
- • Recurrent dislocation or a sense of giving way
- • Warmth, drainage, or night pain suggesting infection
- • Sudden pain after a fall around an implant
Pain after hip or knee replacement may come from loosening, osteolysis, instability, fracture, or periprosthetic joint infection. Dr. Ya'ish provides a tertiary revision pathway with metal-reduction CT, aspiration protocols, and modular reconstruction.
How we evaluate
- • Serial radiographs compared with the original post-operative films
- • ESR, CRP, and joint aspiration when infection is possible
- • CT with metal artefact reduction for bone-loss grading
