A Hip Replacement is meant to last many years, but some need attention sooner. If your replaced Hip hurts again, dislocates or feels different, it’s worth a proper look.
Common reasons for revision
- Loosening of the Implant
- Repeated Dislocation
- Infection
- Wear of the bearing surfaces
- A Fracture around the Implant
How I approach it
I start by finding out exactly why the Hip is failing, with Examination, Imaging and tests for Infection. Then we talk through the options, including whether Surgery is needed now. If it is, I’ll explain what the Operation involves, the risks, and a realistic recovery plan.
