Expert Care for When a Joint Replacement Needs a Second Look

⚠️ When It’s Time to Reevaluate Your Joint
A replaced joint shouldn’t be causing:
Ongoing pain or swelling
Clicking, grinding, or instability
Difficulty bearing weight
Recurrent dislocations
Signs of infection, heat, or redness
Bottom line: If your joint feels wrong — it needs a second look.
Pain, loosening, or instability? You’re not alone.
🧪 Thorough Workup. Clear Answers.
We don’t guess — we investigate.
You’ll get a complete evaluation before we talk surgery:
Physical exam and surgical history review
Imaging (X-rays, CT, or nuclear scans)
Bloodwork to detect inflammation or infection
Joint aspiration when needed
Every revision starts with answers — not assumptions.
🧠 Complex Problem, Clear Plan
You’ll understand the why before we ever talk about how.
Revisions are more complex — your care shouldn’t be confusing:
Straightforward explanation of what’s going wrong
Step-by-step walkthrough of surgical options
Honest discussion of risk, benefit, and alternatives
Personalized strategy — no one-size-fits-all revision
Clarity matters just as much as competence.

Surgery should solve the problem — not just repeat it.
