Revision Hip Replacement

What is revision hip replacement?

A revision replaces all or part of an earlier hip implant that has worn out, loosened, dislocated or become infected.

Signs your hip may need revision

• New pain in the groin, thigh or buttock
• A feeling of the hip giving way or clicking
• Repeated dislocations
• Leg length change or a limp
• Swelling, redness or fever near the hip

How it is done

• Tests to find why the first implant failed
• Careful removal of the old components
• Rebuilding bone loss with grafts or special cups and stems
• A stable new implant chosen for your bone quality

Recovery

Weight-bearing is guided by the surgery performed. Physiotherapy begins on day one and most patients are walking with support before going home.
