Hip Revision
Hip revision is the name given to a repeat hip replacement and involves replacing the patient’s current artificial hip joint with a new artificial hip joint.
Hip Revision
Is it right for you?
A hip revision may become an option if your current artificial hip join fails. Hip revisions may also become necessary if your joint has significant wear and tear or if there is an infection or dislocation.
Hip revision surgery can be more complicated and take longer than the original hip replacement surgery.
A thorough medical evaluation is required to determine if a hip revision is the right option for you.
