Conventional, primary total hip and knee replacement is a proven operation that results in improved hip mobility and function in patients. As with any other mechanical implant, a total joint replacement is subject to various forms of mechanical wear and biological conditions which can result in mechanical or biological failure. Such a failure may require a reoperation of the joint replacement to address the cause of failure and its consequences. A reoperation of a total joint replacement is called a revision. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a system that can assist the surgeon in removing the implant in an efficient manner with the least amount of damage to the bone and surrounding tissue.
