| Total knee joint replacement - revision : Knee joint replacement is a surgery to replace a knee joint with a man-made artificial joint. The artificial joint is called a prosthesis. However, over time some or all parts of a prosthesis may wear out due to a number of reasons. The prosthesis may also loosen up with trauma or infection. When this happens, another surgery is needed to replace or repair the artificial knee joint. This is called total knee joint replacement revision. | |
