When a hip replacement surgery no longer provides the relief it once did, or if complications arise, Revision Hip Replacement Surgery offers a solution to restore function and comfort. This procedure involves replacing a previously implanted hip prosthesis that has either worn out, loosened, or failed due to infection, fracture, or other issues.
At Joint View Clinic, Dr. Havind Tandon is a highly experienced orthopedic surgeon who specializes in revision hip replacement surgeries. His expertise ensures that each patient receives a personalized treatment plan designed to address the underlying problem and improve mobility.
While modern hip replacement procedures have proven to be highly successful, there are instances where the original implant may require attention. The reasons for needing a revision surgery can include:
Revision hip replacement surgery is more complex than a primary hip replacement because it involves working around an existing implant. Dr. Tandon carefully evaluates the previous implant and surrounding bone to determine the best approach. In most cases, the process involves:
Removal of the old implant: The damaged or worn-out prosthesis is carefully removed from the hip joint.
Addressing bone loss or damage: If there has been significant bone loss due to wear or infection, special techniques, including bone grafting or metal augmentation, may be used to restore bone integrity.
Placement of a new implant: A new prosthesis that fits the patient’s unique anatomy and needs will be placed. Advanced materials and designs are often used to enhance the longevity and function of the new implant.
Restoration of Mobility: After surgery, most patients experience a significant improvement in their ability to move without pain or discomfort.
Pain Relief: One of the most significant benefits of revision surgery is the relief of chronic hip pain, allowing you to return to daily activities without discomfort.
Improved Quality of Life: With a properly functioning hip, patients can return to their active lifestyles, including walking, climbing stairs, and engaging in recreational activities.
Long-Term Durability: Modern materials and advanced surgical techniques used in revision hip replacement surgery are designed to provide a long-lasting solution, minimizing the risk of further complications.

After a revision hip replacement surgery, recovery is often faster than patients expect, thanks to modern techniques that reduce trauma to the surrounding tissues. However, full recovery may take several months, and during this time:
Physical Therapy: To regain strength and mobility, physical therapy is essential. A customized rehabilitation plan will help you recover quickly and safely.
Pain Management: Most patients experience minimal pain after the surgery, and Dr. Tandon ensures that effective pain management strategies are in place.
Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up visits allow Dr. Tandon to monitor healing, check implant function, and address any concerns.
