What is Major Implant Removal?
Major implant removal is a surgical procedure performed to remove large orthopaedic hardware such as hip/knee prostheses, extensive plates, and intramedullary nails that were previously inserted to stabilize fractures, correct deformities, or replace joints. These implants may be removed for various reasons including implant-related pain, infection, implant failure, or after the bone has completely healed.
Major implant removal is a more complex procedure than minor removal, often requiring larger incisions, more extensive dissection, and longer recovery time. Doctor247 connects you with experienced orthopaedic surgeons for safe, effective major implant removal in Bangalore.
Overview
- Implant-related pain or discomfort
- Infection around the implant site (osteomyelitis)
- Implant failure, loosening, or breakage
- After complete bone healing (elective removal of large plates/nails)
- Revision surgery (removal of previous prosthesis)
- Patient request for implant removal
