A short YouTube video excerpt of Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explaining that joint replacements placed at a young age often need revision later, that implant materials and techniques are improving, and that robotic-assisted joint replacement may increase implant longevity. The clip emphasizes that revisions are more complex than simple component swaps.
If you have a joint replacement too young, there's a good chance that you might have to have it redone. We put these joints in there, they're man made, right? The materials are getting better and better and better. And we're having better longevity with our joint replacements as we learn more how to do them. I do robotic joint replacements and the idea is that it increases our longevity, hopefully of the joint. But yeah, if you have a joint replacement too young, there's a good chance that you might have to have it redone. And it's not like going in and putting a greaser in there, like just changing a piece. It's. It's always more than that.
