Revision Hip Replacement

Revision Hip Replacement is a rather complicated operation that is conducted in case of failure, loosening, wear or some other complications of the earlier hip replacement, like infection, instability or dislocation. The old implant is then removed thoroughly and replaced by a new and more stable one, which would be long-term stable and comfortable.

Since it is a surgery to repair a previous surgery, revision hip replacement is a procedure that requires expert surgical abilities, an accurate choice of implants, and modern reconstruction methodologies to bring back the full functioning of the hip and bone support. Such surgery can alleviate pain, enhance mobility and remarkably increase the quality of life of patients having failed hip implants.

Ideal Candidates

This process is advised in patients who:

  • Implant Loosening or Wear: Suffering or instability because of the components that have become worn out.
  • Dislocation: Repeat problems with the older implant.
  • Persistent Pain: The pains and stiffness that occur after the previous hip replacement.

Revision vs Primary Hip Replacement

Revision surgery is more complex, as it is involved with bone loss, scar tissue and complicated changes in the anatomy of the previous surgeries. It needs a high level of planning, a custom type of implants and some special methods to make them successful in the long run.

Recovery After Surgery

The healing period can be a bit longer than that of the initial surgical operation. Through appropriate physiotherapy, infection management, and facilitated rehabilitation, patients are able to recover in a matter of a few months and lead an independent life.
