Revision & Infection
STUCK IN LIMBO?
It’s time for a real plan.
Failed surgery. Ongoing infection. The cases other doctors leave open-ended, Dr. Baker treats as a decision to make — not a waiting game.
Limbo vs. Life
When a single, decisive surgery is the right choice, he’ll tell you. When it’s not, he’ll tell you that, too. Either way, you’ll know the plan and why it’s the plan — not just the next appointment.
How he treats infection.
Joint infections are serious, and they scare people. That’s normal. Dr. Baker’s job is to take the fear out of the unknown part — walking you through what’s happening, what your choices are, and what each one means for your recovery.
Dr. Baker is also an early adopter of newer, more direct antibiotic treatment methods, used when they genuinely improve your outcome — not because they’re new.
Modern tools. Used with purpose.
Dr. Baker uses robotic-assisted surgery and modern cementless implants, including cementless patella components some surgeons still hesitate to use. He doesn’t use these tools to impress you. He uses them because, in the right case, they help you heal faster and move better. If a tool doesn’t change your outcome, he won’t use it just because it’s available.
The questions that guide every plan.
Is this a true revision, or a straightforward replacement?
Dr. Baker will tell you plainly, and treat you accordingly.
Is single-stage surgery right for your case?
Not every case qualifies. He'll walk you through the reasoning, either way.
Does a newer tool actually help you?
If it does, he'll use it. If it doesn't, he won't.
Your next step starts here.
You don't have to live in limbo. Talk to Dr. Baker about a real plan for your solving your pain.
