Revision Hip Replacement
A failed primary hip replacement is removed and reconstructed using specialised revision components and bone reconstruction — restoring stability, eliminating pain and giving the joint another decade of reliable function.
What is Revision Hip Replacement?
Revision Hip Replacement addresses the failure of a previously implanted hip prosthesis through systematic removal of the original components and meticulous reconstruction of the joint with revision-grade implants. Failure mechanisms include aseptic loosening, bearing wear, recurrent dislocation, periprosthetic fracture, deep infection and persistent unexplained pain. Dr. Hithesh performs revision hip surgery in Hyderabad using long-stemmed femoral implants, modular augments, structural grafts and dual-mobility cups when stability is at risk, returning patients to comfortable, stable walking after a complex but rewarding reconstruction.
Indicated for patients whose primary hip replacement has failed — with chronic pain, instability, leg-length discrepancy, recurrent dislocations, periprosthetic fracture or deep infection — and who are fit for major reconstructive surgery.
How the Procedure Works
Comprehensive Workup
Inflammatory markers, joint aspiration and three-dimensional imaging identify the specific failure mechanism guiding the revision plan.
Component Removal
The failed prosthesis and any cement are extracted carefully, preserving native bone stock for solid reconstruction afterwards.
Bone Reconstruction
Acetabular and femoral defects are managed with structural grafts, metal augments or trabecular cones to provide stable foundation.
Revision Implant Insertion
Long stems, modular components and dual-mobility cups restore correct offset, leg length and hip joint stability.
Closure & Rehabilitation
Wound layers are closed; protected weight-bearing under physiotherapy guidance ensures progressive functional return over months.
Outcomes
Who Needs This Treatment?
- →
Eliminates pain caused by a loose, worn or malfunctioning hip implant
- →
Stops recurrent dislocations using dual-mobility or constrained liner constructs
- →
Two-stage revision reliably treats deep periprosthetic hip joint infection
- →
Restores leg length when the previous surgery left mismatched limbs
- →
Specialised augments and cones rebuild deficient acetabular bone effectively
- →
Returns patients to pain-free walking, sitting and routine living again
Hip revision surgery is detective work followed by reconstruction. Find out exactly why the first implant failed, plan meticulously around the bone you have left, and patients regain a hip that serves them for decades.
