hip revision surgery

Hip revision surgery is a procedure performed to replace or repair a previous hip replacement that has loosened, worn out, or caused problems such as pain or instability. During the surgery, the worn-out artificial joint components are removed, and a new prosthesis is implanted to restore function and alleviate discomfort. It is often more complex than the initial replacement because the surgeon needs to address issues like damaged bone or scar tissue. The goal is to improve joint stability, reduce pain, and enhance mobility for the patient, helping them return to daily activities with improved comfort.
