Revision Ankle Joint Replacement: Addressing Failure of a Prior Implant


Revision ankle arthroplasty is required when a primary implant fails due to loosening, wear, or infection.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 18,000 – 28,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 4,000 – 6,000
Revision implants significantly increase costs.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary revision arthroplasty
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia
Insurance Tip
Confirm coverage for revision implants and staged procedures.
Conclusion
When implants fail, revision surgery restores mobility. Insurance must support second-line care.
