Revision Hip Replacement

Revision Hip Replacement - Hip Surgeon in Hobart

Hip replacement is one of the most successful procedures in medicine, but over time an implant may fail.

What revision surgery addresses

Hip replacement is one of the most successful procedures in medicine, but over time an implant may fail, through loosening or wear, infection, recurrent dislocation, reaction to metal ions, or fracture.
Revision hip replacement addresses these issues, replacing or adjusting the components of a previous hip replacement to restore comfort and function.
