When an earlier knee operation has not held: a failed graft, a re-torn meniscus or continuing instability.
Failed Knee Surgery Treatment
A revision is an operation on a knee where an earlier operation has not held: a graft that has failed, a meniscus that has torn again, or instability that continues. It is a more difficult operation than the first one, and its result is less predictable, which is worth being told before you decide rather than afterwards. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, performs revision surgery after a failed Ligament Reconstruction or failed Meniscus Surgery.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
Why might it be done in two operations?
Where the existing tunnels in the bone are too wide to hold a new graft, the first operation fills them with bone and the reconstruction follows months later, once that has healed. It is often what makes the second reconstruction work.
Will the result be as good as the first time?
A revision is a harder operation with a less predictable result than a primary one. Dr. Abbasi will explain what he expects in your case, and it is a conversation worth having before you decide.
Why do you check the alignment of my leg?
A graft that was being overloaded by the alignment of the leg will be overloaded again unless that is dealt with. It is one of the most common reasons a second reconstruction fails too.
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
