What Is A Hip Surgery Revision?

Revision hip replacement, also called hip surgery revision, involves surgically replacing a previously implanted artificial hip joint.

Hip Surgery Revision Procedure

The primary objective of this revision serves to address issues associated with a previously implanted hip replacement. Various factors may prompt the need for revision, including wear and tear over time, implant loosening, infection, fractures, dislocation, or implant failure due to defects or other reasons. The specific procedure for revisions depends on the particular reason for revision and the patient’s individual circumstances. Additionally, it typically involves the removal of old components, addressing any issues like infection or bone loss, and implanting new components to restore stability and function.

These can encompass infection, blood clots, damage to blood vessels or nerves, complications related to the implant, and an extended recovery period.
