Problems with your Replacement

While the vast majority of patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery in Raleigh, NC experience excellent outcomes, complications can occasionally arise — both in the early recovery period and years after the original procedure. At the practice of Dr. Scott Eskildsen, we are experienced in the evaluation and management of joint replacement complications, including persistent pain, stiffness, infection, instability, aseptic loosening, periprosthetic fractures, and wear-related concerns.

Whether you are experiencing difficulties with your recovery, seeking a second opinion on unresolved symptoms, or exploring the option of revision surgery, Dr. Eskildsen can provide a thorough evaluation and develop a targeted treatment plan. Many patients with problems following joint replacement can be managed effectively with non-surgical interventions; however, when revision surgery is indicated, our team has the expertise to perform complex reconstruction procedures.

To ensure the most accurate and efficient assessment of your condition, please bring all relevant documentation from your original surgery to your appointment, including operative reports, implant records, recent laboratory results, and any imaging studies (X-rays, CT scans, or MRI). This information is essential in helping Dr. Eskildsen determine the most appropriate course of care for your specific situation.
