When a knee replacement fails, it can lead to persistent pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Common causes of failure include infection, implant loosening, or wear and tear of the components. Patients may require revision surgery to replace or repair the failed implant, which can involve more complex procedures. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to address complications and improve outcomes.

Can knee replacement get a cortisone shot?

I have often heard about cortisone injections as an alternative to knee replacement but it is un heard of to have injection after the knee replacement. What is the logic behind it? Usually injections are taken to subside the pain that arise from contact of arthritic articular surfaces of knee bones. But when knee replacement is already done I do not see a reason for cortisone injection. At the same time if there is sudden severe pain in your knee after replacement surgery doctor might give you a shot of knee injection. Another possibility is if you have partial knee replacement and non operated compartment of your knee joint troubling you. Hope it helps.
