When a hip replacement fails, the doctor may recommend a second operation to replace the original prosthesis (either some or all of the parts) with new ones. Naturally, revision hip replacement will be a more complex procedure but as the primary surgery, will help relieve pain and enhance function and quality of life.

Causes and symptoms

A revision hip replacement surgery is needed in cases where the replacements have worn out for many reasons. Aseptic loosening is the most common cause why a hip replacement wears out as this condition happens when the hip implants turn loose within the bone.

When someone has a loose hip implant, he/she may experience a lot of pain and that’s why a second surgery is essential. More so, a hip replacement may also wear out due to infection, breakage of the prosthesis, and breaking of the bone around the hip.  

Similarly, patients also need to know that revision hip replacements are more complicated in nature and may require extensive surgery in some cases. Longer surgery means more blood loss and other complications and that’s why the decision to have the revision must involve the consultation of a top orthopedic surgeon.
