Who it is for
- • Painful or loose hip or knee replacements
- • Suspected or confirmed periprosthetic joint infection
- • Recurrent dislocation or extensor mechanism failure
- • Periprosthetic fracture around a stem or implant
Specialized referral pathway for previously operated joints with aseptic loosening, osteolysis, structural bone loss, instability, or periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Uses modular revision stems, titanium trabecular 3D cones, custom acetabular augments, and hinge knee systems.
Surgical approach
- • MDT planning with infectious diseases and, when needed, vascular surgery
- • Paprosky / AORI bone-loss grading from metal-reduction CT
- • Modular stems, metaphyseal cones, and custom augments as required
- • One- or two-stage protocols for infection
Recovery
- • Length of stay and weight-bearing depend on reconstruction complexity
- • Protected mobilisation with specialist physiotherapy
- • Longer surveillance for infection and implant stability
