Revision ArthroplastyClinical

Further surgery to replace or exchange components of a prior joint implant.

Revision refers to surgical exchange or removal of implant components after a primary or conversion arthroplasty, distinct from reoperation, which covers any further surgery, such as for infection, without necessarily revising components. Revision rate is a common headline outcome in arthroplasty comparisons but is sensitive to differing follow-up length and surgeon threshold for reintervention across pooled studies.
