Hip or Knee Still Hurting in Chillicothe? It Might Be Time for a Revision
Persistent pain after a joint replacement isn’t normal. Here’s how patients in Chillicothe can get clarity — and expert revision surgery if needed.
When the Replacement Stops Working
Most hip and knee replacements last for years. But when pain returns, function declines, or instability creeps in, it could mean the implant is failing — or something was missed.
If you're in Chillicothe and you've been told "everything looks fine" but you still don’t feel right, it’s time for a deeper look.
Signs You Might Need Revision Surgery
Persistent joint pain after prior replacement
Loosening or instability of the implant
Infection in or around the joint
Limited range of motion or weakness
A prior surgery that never quite felt right
You don’t have to settle for “good enough.” You deserve a fix that works.
What a Revision Involves
Revision surgery isn’t just a repeat of the original. It’s:
A detailed diagnostic workup (infection, imaging, labs)
A tailored surgical plan — possibly with 3D planning tools
Implant removal and replacement with specialized components
A recovery strategy designed for early weightbearing and discharge
It’s complex — and it needs to be done right the first time.

What type of revision is needed (full, partial, liner exchange, etc.)

Faster Recovery. Early Weightbearing. Short Stays.
Many revision procedures are done with short hospital stays, early mobility, and a focus on pain control. The goal is the same as your first surgery: a stable joint that lets you live fully.
