Even the most advanced knee replacement can fall short when the wrong approach is used. If you’re still dealing with pain, instability, or stiffness after surgery—or you’ve been told your implant is failing—it might be time to consider a revision knee replacement.
NanoKnee™ specializes in high-performance, next-generation joint replacement solutions designed to last a lifetime. However, for patients who underwent outdated or traditional procedures elsewhere, a revision may be the key to finally restoring function and relieving pain.
Why Knee Replacements Sometimes Fail
While knee replacements are generally safe and effective, roughly 5–10% of patients may require a second surgery within 10 years to correct complications from the first procedure.
The most common reasons for revision surgery include:
- Implant loosening or wear over time
- Infection in the joint or surrounding tissue
- Instability or improper alignment
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Fractures around the implant
Sometimes, these complications arise because traditional techniques didn’t prioritize soft tissue balance, precise alignment, or patient-specific engineering—foundational pillars of the NanoKnee™ method.
Signs You Might Need a Revision Knee Replacement
If you’ve already had a knee replacement and are still experiencing symptoms that limit your life, you may be a candidate for revision surgery. Warning signs include:
- Persistent or worsening knee pain
- A feeling of instability or giving way
- Difficulty bending or straightening the knee
- Unexplained swelling
- Infection symptoms (fever, drainage, redness)
If you're experiencing any of the above. A failed implant doesn’t mean you’ve run out of options, but it does mean it’s time for a more innovative approach.
