Knee revision surgery is the process to correct such problems to reduce pain and restore normal hip function. Revision surgery is a form of maintenance procedure conducted post a hip replacement surgery. Hip revision surgery varies from minor adjustments to fix a prosthetic to substantial operations replacing large amount of bone stock with new prosthetics. Hip revision surgery is essential if the previous replacement surgery did not yield successful results, i.e., the joint was not placed effectively, damage to surrounding bone stock or infection caused due to surgical procedures. Hip revision surgery help patients restore mobility and strength of the joints and provide a log term solution for hip pain.

Reasons For Hip Revision Surgery

1. Pain – This is the primary reason for hip revision surgery.
2. Polyethylene and metal wear – Inserted plastic or metal is damaged due to wear and tear resulting in pain and instability.
3. Instability of Hip – The joint has come loose and hip movement becomes abnormal causing dislocation to hip.
4. Loosening of either the femoral or ace tabular component.
5. Infection due to previous hip replacement.
6. Damage to surrounding tissue, muscle or tendon affecting the prosthetic
7. Used cables or wires causing irritation or pain

Post a hip revision surgery patients should maintain dedicated and focused effort towards rehabilitation. If proper care is not taken, it can lead to complications.

Post-Surgery Care

1. Avoid the combined movement of bending you hip and turning your foot in.
2. Sleep with a pillow between your legs for at least 6 weeks.
3. Avoid low chairs.
4. Avoid bending your hip to pick things up.
5. Elevated toilet seats are helpful.
6. Avoid using steps.

Apart from the above points one should take every care to avoid excessive pressure on hips.
