What is Revision Elbow Replacement
When your elbow replacement becomes damaged, loose, infected, or has another issue, you will need to undergo another procedure for a new one. Also known as revision elbow arthroplasty, revision elbow replacement is a procedure that replaces the initial replacement.
If you have persistent pain in your elbow following the initial replacement, it is an indication that you might need to undergo our revision elbow replacement in Houston, TX. Our specialist will conduct blood tests and X-rays to confirm if the initial elbow replacement is failing.
Reasons for the Treatment
There are various reasons why you may need the treatment, as many factors can result in a faulty or worn-out initial elbow replacement.
Patients often experience aseptic loosening, which takes place when the implant loosens from the bone gradually due to wear and tear or problems with the bone. You can also develop an infection in the initial replacement, leading to the need for revision elbow replacement.
If you fall or injure your elbow around the replacement, it could come loose and require the procedure. Other than this, component failure and instability are also some instances where our specialist might suggest revision elbow replacement in Houston.
Rehabilitation
We want our patients to have a successful revision procedure, which is why we recommend rehabilitation that helps with your recovery.
You will have a unique and special rehabilitation according to your case, planned by specialists. You can look forward to optimal results after your revision elbow replacement at our Houston clinic!
