What is the purpose of revision hip surgery?

Hip revision surgery replaces a prosthesis that has become worn, loose, painful, or infected. Surgery goals are to relieve pain, improve function, and improve the overall quality of life. 

Why do you need revision hip replacement surgery?

• The primary reason for revision is pain and failure of previous hip surgery. The cause is usually obvious, but this is not always the case. Hips that do not have an obvious cause of pain do not fare as well after surgery. 
• Polyethene wear is one of the simpler revisions, as only the plastic insert is altered.
• A dislocation occurs when the hip pops out of place. 
• The femoral or acetabular component is loose. This usually manifests as pain, but it can also be asymptomatic. As a result, you must have your joint monitored for the rest of your life, as changes on the X-ray may indicate that the hip should be revised despite the absence of symptoms.
• Infection usually manifests as pain but can also manifest as an acute fever or a general feeling of ill health.
• Osteolysis (bone loss) This can happen when particles are released into the hip joint, causing the bone to be destroyed.
• Irritation caused by hardware, such as cables 

Surgical procedure for revision hip surgery in Hyderabad?

Hip revision surgery is similar to primary hip replacement surgery but is more complicated and takes longer to complete. Each patient and each hip revision surgery is distinct. The specifics of surgery differ from patient to patient and are determined by the type of prosthesis failure. The revision surgery may take two to four hours and employ various techniques. These include.

• The old prosthesis (cup, liner, stem, and/or femoral head) is removed.
• Bone preparation (socket and femur) for the new implant
• Bone grafting in bone-loss areas (if needed)
• The placement of the new prosthesis

Hip revision surgery is required when the socket’s plastic lining wears out, but the socket and stem are well-fixed and in good condition. The socket liner and femoral head are replaced in such cases with new implants.

If you’re infected, your surgery will be performed in two stages. The infected prosthesis and tissues are removed in the first stage, and the infection is treated with antibiotics. The new prosthesis is re-implanted in the second stage.
