revision hip arthroplasty

Revision hip arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to replace or repair a hip joint that has previously been replaced with a prosthetic implant. Over time, the original implant may loosen, wear out, or cause pain, necessitating this surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the old components and replaces them with new, better-fitting parts to restore pain-free movement and joint stability. This operation can address issues like implant failure, infection, or damage, helping improve mobility and quality of life for patients who previously had hip replacement surgery.
