What is Hip Revision Surgery ?
Hip revision surgery is a form of surgery which is done when hip replacement fails over time. It is a second operation done to remove some or all the parts of the original prosthesis and replace them with the new ones. In this procedure, regional anesthesia will be given to you. During the surgery, the diseased portions of the hip are cut away. The doctor will prepare the bone surfaces in the pelvis and the femur for the revision implants. The doctor will then insert the specialized revision implants. In most of the cases, multiple screws are used to hold the new cup in place until bone grows in.
