Revision Hip Replacement
Revision Hip Replacement is a specialised procedure performed when an existing hip implant becomes loose, worn out, infected, or causes discomfort over time. Unlike a primary hip replacement, revision surgery is more complex and requires advanced expertise to restore stability, mobility, and comfort while protecting the remaining healthy bone.
When Is Revision Hip Replacement Needed?
You may be advised to undergo revision surgery if you experience:
Increasing hip pain after an earlier hip replacement
Loosening or instability of the implant
Wear and tear of the artificial joint components
Infection around the implant
Difficulty walking or bearing weight
Recurrent hip dislocation
Fractures around the implant site
A thorough assessment by Dr. Devansh Goyal helps determine the exact cause of implant failure and whether revision surgery is the most suitable option.
What Happens During Revision Hip Replacement?
During the procedure:
The old or damaged implant is carefully removed
Surrounding bone or tissue issues are treated
A new, specialised implant is placed for improved strength and longevity
Advanced techniques are used to restore stability and enhance long-term function
Modern implants and surgical planning tools help ensure better outcomes and reduced complications.
Why Revision Hip Replacement May Be Required
Common reasons include:
Implant Wear: Natural wear of metal, ceramic, or plastic components over time
Infection: A serious but treatable complication that may require implant replacement
Dislocation or Instability: Repeated slipping of the artificial joint
Periprosthetic Fracture: Broken bone around the implant
Bone Loss: Osteolysis or weakening of bone surrounding the implant
Early evaluation is key to preventing further damage and ensuring successful revision surgery.
