When Is Revision Hip Replacement Surgery Needed?

Revision hip replacement may be considered when patients experience:

  • Persistent or worsening hip pain after hip replacement

  • Recurrent hip dislocation or instability

  • Loosening of the hip implant

  • Infection around the hip joint

  • Implant wear or mechanical failure

  • Reduced mobility or function after previous surgery

Not all painful hip replacements require revision surgery. Identifying the underlying cause is essential before recommending further surgery.

Common Causes of Failed Hip Replacement

Revision hip replacement may be required due to:

  • Aseptic loosening of the implant

  • Infection of the hip joint

  • Recurrent dislocation or instability

  • Implant wear or breakage

  • Incorrect implant positioning

  • Bone loss around the implant

Each cause requires a different surgical strategy, making revision hip replacement more complex than primary surgery.

How Revision Hip Replacement Differs From Primary Hip Replacement

Revision hip replacement is technically more demanding than first-time hip replacement surgery.

It may involve:

  • Removal of existing implants

  • Management of bone loss

  • Use of specialized revision implants

  • Longer surgical time

  • Increased rehabilitation requirements

Because of these factors, outcomes depend heavily on experience, planning, and post-operative care.

Evaluation Before Revision Hip Replacement Surgery

Before recommending revision surgery, evaluation may include:

  • Detailed clinical examination

  • X-rays and advanced imaging

  • Blood tests to rule out infection

  • Joint aspiration when required

This thorough evaluation helps ensure that revision surgery is necessary, appropriate, and safe.

Recovery After Revision Hip Replacement Surgery

Recovery after revision hip replacement may be slower and more variable compared to primary hip replacement.

Recovery typically includes:

  • Hospital monitoring and pain management

  • Supervised physiotherapy

  • Gradual return to daily activities

  • Long-term follow-up

Rehabilitation is individualized based on surgical complexity and overall patient health.

Alternatives to Revision Hip Replacement

In selected cases, immediate revision surgery may not be required.

Depending on the cause, alternatives may include:

  • Medications

  • Physiotherapy

  • Activity modification

  • Targeted treatment for infection control

Revision surgery is advised only when these options are insufficient to address the underlying problem.
