Revision Total Hip Replacement

Dr. Amit has expertise in restoring earlier done failed THR for damaged hips, replacing the damaged bone and failed implant and correcting the leg length discrepancy. He uses a variety of techniques and prostheses to replace the damaged bone and joint.

This includes implanting bone graft to build up damaged parts and also to replace the bone with artificial substances such as “trabecular metal” which works as a bone substitute.

Unlike the common man belief, there is really no certainty on how often an earlier done joint replacement can be revised however the modern materials we now use, the need for further revision is going down.

Recovery from a revision hip operation is usually longer than the first surgery. In most cases you should be able to walk within few days. Occasionally we may protect the hip by using crutches or a frame for a few weeks.
