Joint Replacement – Dr. Pooja

Revision Hip Replacement is a complex surgical procedure performed to replace or repair a previously implanted artificial hip joint that has failed or developed complications. Over time, hip implants may wear out, loosen, become infected, dislocate, or cause persistent pain. Revision surgery involves removing the old prosthesis, managing bone loss or infection if present, and implanting a new specialized prosthesis designed to restore stability and function. This procedure requires detailed pre-operative planning and advanced surgical expertise to achieve successful outcomes.

Common Reasons for Revision Surgery

Revision hip replacement may be required due to implant loosening, wear of components, periprosthetic fracture, recurrent dislocation, deep infection, or mechanical failure of the prosthesis. Diagnostic evaluation including X-rays, CT scans, blood investigations, and sometimes joint aspiration helps determine the exact cause and guide treatment planning. Early intervention can prevent further bone damage and improve long-term results.
