Revision hip surgery

Revision hip surgery is a procedure to correct problems with a previously implanted hip joint replacement. It may be needed due to issues like wear and tear, loosening of the implant, infection, or dislocation. During the surgery, the doctor removes the old implant and replaces it with a new one. This surgery aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve mobility for patients experiencing difficulties after their initial hip replacement. Recovery can vary, and rehabilitation is often necessary to regain strength and movement.
