Revision Hip Replacement

Revision Hip Replacement is a specialised procedure performed to replace a worn, loose, infected or failed artificial hip joint. Unlike primary hip replacement, revision surgery is more complex and requires meticulous planning, specialised implants and advanced surgical expertise to restore function and relieve pain.

When is Revision Hip Replacement Needed?

Revision surgery may be recommended for:

• Loosening or wear of the implant
• Infection around the hip replacement
• Recurrent hip dislocation or instability
• Periprosthetic fractures
• Broken or damaged implants
• Persistent pain after hip replacement
• Leg length inequality affecting function

Common Symptoms of a Failed or Loose Hip Joint

Patients may experience:

• Increasing hip or groin pain
• Difficulty walking or climbing stairs
• Hip instability or repeated dislocations
• Limp or leg length difference
• Swelling or signs of infection
• Reduced mobility and loss of function

Diagnosis of Painful Hip Replacement

A thorough assessment is essential to identify the cause of implant failure and includes:

• Clinical examination
• Digital X-rays
• Blood tests to rule out infection
• CT scan or MRI in selected cases
• Joint aspiration when infection is suspected

Accurate diagnosis allows personalised planning for the most appropriate revision procedure.

Advanced Revision Hip Surgery

Revision procedures are individually tailored and may involve:

• Replacement of one or all implant components
• Reconstruction of bone loss using grafts or specialised implants
• Long-stem revision implants
• Treatment of infection with one-stage or two-stage revision surgery
• Correction of instability and leg length differences

The aim is to restore a stable, pain-free and well-functioning hip.

Recovery After Revision Hip Replacement Surgery

Recovery depends on the complexity of the procedure, but most patients can expect:

• Hospital stay of 3–5 days
• Early physiotherapy and mobilisation
• Gradual return to walking with support
• Individualised rehabilitation programme
• Progressive improvement over the following months
