Minimally Invasive Revision Procedures

Advanced techniques combining minimal invasiveness with complex revision surgery

What are Minimally Invasive Revision Procedures?

Minimally invasive revision procedures represent the cutting edge of joint replacement surgery, combining advanced minimally invasive techniques with complex revision surgery. These procedures use specialized instruments and approaches to address failed joint replacements while minimizing tissue damage and promoting faster recovery.

Advanced Technique: Only certain revision cases are candidates for minimally invasive approaches, requiring careful evaluation by experienced revision specialists.

When Can Minimally Invasive Techniques Be Used?

Minimally invasive revision procedures are possible in select cases:

  • Limited Bone Loss: Cases with minimal bone loss and good bone stock
  • Isolated Component Failure: When only one component needs replacement
  • No Infection: Revision cases not involving infection
  • Adequate Soft Tissue: Good soft tissue envelope without extensive scarring
  • Appropriate Anatomy: Favorable anatomy allowing for minimally invasive access
  • Experienced Surgeon: Requires surgeon with extensive minimally invasive and revision expertise

Types of Minimally Invasive Revisions

Hip Cup Revision

Minimally invasive replacement of the acetabular cup through small incisions with specialized instruments.

Knee Component Revision

Selective replacement of knee components using minimally invasive approaches and specialized tools.

Stem Revision

Minimally invasive replacement of hip or knee stem components in appropriate cases.

Minimally Invasive Revision Process
