If your knee or hip replacement didn’t give you the relief you were hoping for, you’re probably feeling a mix of frustration and uncertainty. Now revision surgery is being discussed, and you’re facing a new set of decisions with even more unknowns than before.

Revision surgery isn’t the same as your original procedure. The approach is different, there are additional risks, and the recovery timeline may be different too. You deserve a clear understanding of what’s ahead before you commit to going through it again.

This guide walks you through that process with 32 questions designed to help you have a thorough conversation with your surgeon. It starts with understanding what a revision surgery actually involves and how it differs from your initial procedure, then moves through what to expect during recovery.

These are the questions a nurse would think to ask for herself or on behalf of someone she loves. The kinds of details that don’t always come up in standard consultations but can help you understand the full picture. Things like realistic outcome expectations, potential complications specific to revision procedures, and what recovery might look like the second time around.

There’s space to write down your surgeon’s answers so you’re not trying to remember the details later when you’re making your decision.

This guide is for anyone who has already had a total knee or total hip replacement that didn’t resolve the problem. If revision surgery is on the table and you want to go into that consultation feeling prepared, this will help you get there.

If this guide doesn’t help you feel more prepared for your consultation, you’re covered by a 14-day no questions asked refund.
