Revision Hip Replacement Surgery
Revision Hip Replacement Surgery is performed when a previous hip implant fails due to loosening, infection, instability, wear, or fracture-related complications.
These surgeries require detailed evaluation of bone stock, implant fixation, and infection markers. Revision surgery is more complex than primary replacement and demands specialised planning.
Revision is commonly required in cases of Failed Fracture Fixation or advanced implant failure in arthritis or AVN patients.
Surgical approach selection depends on anatomy and stability needs, and both DAA and Mini Posterior may be considered in selected cases.
