What is the purpose of joint replacement surgery?
Severe musculoskeletal pain makes everyday life a struggle. The aim of joint replacement surgery is to relieve musculoskeletal pain and restore mobility in cases where function has been lost as a result of advanced osteoarthritis, joint deformity or injury.
Modern orthopaedics now offers personalised, precise solutions: Mediversal’s renowned knee, hip and shoulder specialists use both conventional and state-of-the-art CORI robot-assisted surgical procedures to help our patients regain their quality of life.
When can joint replacement surgery become necessary?
Joint replacement surgery may be necessary if conservative treatments no longer ensure an adequate quality of life and the joint damage causes persistent pain or restricted mobility. For example:
- In cases of advanced osteoarthritis (of the knee, hip or shoulder)
- In cases of persistent joint pain that does not improve despite physiotherapy or medication
- In cases of significant joint deformity
- In cases of permanent loss of function following an injury
- If a previous prosthesis is no longer functioning properly, it may be necessary to replace it, i.e. to perform a TEP revision
When is it advisable to see an orthopaedic specialist as soon as possible?
It is important to consult your specialist as soon as possible if you experience certain symptoms:
- Sudden, severe joint pain in the hip, knee or shoulder area
- Significant swelling, redness or a sensation of warmth around the affected joint
- Joint pain accompanied by fever, which may suggest an infection
- Sudden deterioration in mobility or feeling of instability when walking or using your arms
- Pain or instability around the prosthesis if joint replacement has been performed previously
- Persistent pain around the prosthesis following a fall or injury
Timely orthopaedic examination can help identify the cause of the symptoms and allows for the appropriate treatment, or surgical intervention if necessary, to be planned as soon as possible.

TEP revision
At the Mediversal Clinics private orthopaedic clinic, we perform complex revision hip and knee replacement surgeries. If a previously inserted implant becomes loose, worn, unstable or its function is impaired due to infection, revision surgery may be the solution.
What does TEP revision involve?
TEP revision (Total Endoprosthesis Revision) refers to the partial or complete replacement of a previously implanted joint prosthesis. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the malfunctioning components, assesses the bone structure and, if necessary, reconstructs it, before inserting an implant specifically designed for revision surgery.
Symptoms which might indicate that an existing prosthesis needs replacing include
- Increasing or recurring pain in the area of a previously operated joint
- Uncertainty under pressure, feeling of instability
- Swelling, onset of inflammatory symptoms
- Reduction or restriction of range of motion
- A noticeable “clicking” sound or a sensation of the joint moving
- Recurrent dislocation (particularly in cases of hip replacement)
- Fever, redness or discharge around the surgical site
- Persistent pain following a fracture around a prosthesis
Modern revision techniques enable more secure fixation and improved weight-bearing capacity, thereby reducing pain and improving stability of movement.
Thanks to the special rehabilitation programme available at Mediversal, patients can enjoy more stable and predictable knee function in their daily lives again.
Knee TEP revision
During knee replacement surgery, the previously implanted components are removed, bone grafting is performed if necessary, and then a more stable prosthesis is implanted, often with a longer stem that is specifically designed for revision surgery. The aim of the procedure is to restore the alignment and stability of the knee, as well as to replace any loose or damaged components.
The steps of knee TEP revision surgery
1. Exposure and removal of the previous implant
The surgeon exposes the affected joint and then removes the loose, worn or infected prosthetic components, as well as the damaged tissues.
2. Preparation and replacement of bone tissue
If necessary, the surgeon uses bone grafting techniques to ensure stable fixation and then prepares the joint to receive the revision implant.
3. Placement of the revision implant
The surgeon implants components specifically designed for revision surgery, often featuring reinforced or longer stems, in order to restore stability and proper alignment.
4. Assessment of stability and starting rehabilitation
During the operation, the surgeon assesses the biomechanical balance and stability of the joint; following the procedure, a personalised rehabilitation programme starts with the aim of restoring safe weight-bearing capacity.
The benefits of TEP surgery:
- Significant reduction in pain
- More stable knee joint with a higher weight-bearing capacity
- Improved range of motion and stability when walking
- A noticeable improvement in quality of life
Hip TEP revision
In the case of hip replacement, the acetabular and/or femoral components are replaced, taking into account the patient’s current anatomy and bone condition. In complex cases, bone grafting techniques and special implant systems designed for revision surgery are required to ensure stable fixation. The aim of the operation is to reduce pain, restore the stability of the prosthesis and re-establish the biomechanical balance of the joint.
