Spine Revision Surgery – Implant-Related Infection After Spinal Fusion Surgery

Implant Removal and Revision Surgery Restores Mobility and Quality of Life
A 63-year-old patient developed an infection and implant loosening after undergoing spine fusion surgery at another hospital, resulting in intermittent claudication and chronic pain. Seeking Dr. Chang’s expertise, he underwent computer-assisted revision surgery, which involved removing the old implant and restoring spinal stability through re-fixation and fusion. After surgery, the patient experienced complete pain relief and regained the ability to walk freely. Today, he enjoys a pain-free, stable spine and a return to his normal lifestyle.
