Revision Hip Replacement
Understanding the wear-and-tear changes that can affect your hip joint over time
Revision hip replacement surgery, also known as revision hip arthroplasty, is a complex procedure performed to address problems that can develop after a previous hip replacement. This may include pain, implant loosening, infection, dislocation, or wear of the prosthetic components. This page provides a detailed guide to help you understand what revision surgery involves, why it may be recommended, and what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. It is designed to equip you with clear, practical information and support as you prepare for surgery with Dr Jason Hockings.
What is revision hip replacement surgery?
Occasionally, a primary hip replacement may require revision due to persistent pain, implant wear, instability, loosening, fracture, or infection. Revision hip replacement surgery involves the careful removal and replacement of one or more components of the original hip prosthesis.
Depending on your individual condition, this procedure may also require the reconstruction of bone or soft tissue using bone grafts, augments, or specialised revision implants designed to restore stability and function. In cases of infection, a staged approach may be necessary, involving temporary spacers and antibiotic treatment before reimplantation.
Revision hip replacement is technically more complex than a primary procedure, requiring advanced surgical planning, careful handling of bone and soft tissues, and the use of specialised implants. Dr Jason Hockings has extensive experience in revision hip arthroplasty and will tailor your surgical plan to address your unique anatomy, diagnosis, and previous surgical history.
Common reasons a hip replacement may fail
While most total hip replacements function well for many years, there are several reasons why a hip implant may fail over time. Understanding these causes can help patients recognise potential problems early and seek appropriate care.
Â
- Aseptic loosening: This is one of the most common reasons for revision surgery. Over time, the bond between the implant and the surrounding bone may weaken, even in the absence of infection. This can lead to pain, instability, and difficulty walking.
- Wear and tear of implant materials: Although modern implants are made from highly durable materials, the artificial joint surfaces can wear down over time, especially in younger or more active patients. This wear may lead to the release of microscopic particles into the surrounding tissue, potentially causing inflammation and bone loss (osteolysis).
- Infection: A deep infection around the hip implant is a serious complication that may require revision surgery. Infections can occur shortly after surgery or develop years later. In many cases, the implant must be removed and replaced in a staged surgical process.
- Dislocation or instability: If the hip joint becomes unstable or dislocates frequently, revision may be necessary to restore stability. This can occur if the soft tissues are no longer supporting the joint effectively or if the components are not ideally positioned.
- Periprosthetic fracture: A break in the bone around the hip implant (known as a periprosthetic fracture) can compromise the stability of the prosthesis. This may happen due to a fall or trauma, and surgical intervention is often required to repair the fracture and revise the implant.
- Implant malalignment: Occasionally, implant components may have been placed in a position that does not function optimally with your anatomy. This misalignment can lead to pain, poor mobility, or early failure of the prosthesis.
- Metal hypersensitivity or reaction: Some patients may develop a reaction to metal ions released from certain types of implants. This condition, known as adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR), can lead to pain, swelling, and tissue damage around the hip joint.
Signs and symptoms of a failing hip replacement
In many cases, problems with a hip implant develop gradually. Recognising the warning signs of a failing hip replacement early can lead to timely intervention and help prevent further complications. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it's important to arrange a review with Dr Jason Hockings for a thorough evaluation.
- Persistent or worsening hip pain: Pain that continues or intensifies months or years after your initial hip replacement may be a sign that something isn’t functioning correctly. This pain may be felt deep in the groin, buttock, or thigh, and may worsen during walking or weight-bearing activities.
- Reduced mobility or stiffness: A previously well-functioning hip replacement that suddenly becomes stiff or limited in movement could be failing. This may occur due to implant loosening, wear, soft tissue scarring, or mechanical problems with the joint.
- Instability or recurrent dislocations: If your hip feels unstable, ‘gives way’, or you’ve had one or more dislocations (where the ball pops out of the socket), this may indicate soft tissue laxity, poor implant positioning, or damage to the surrounding structures.
- Swelling, warmth, or redness: Persistent swelling around the hip joint, especially when accompanied by warmth, redness, or tenderness, could suggest an infection or inflammatory reaction. These signs should never be ignored and warrant urgent assessment.
- A change in leg length or limp: A noticeable limp or the feeling that one leg is longer or shorter than the other may result from implant loosening, subsidence (sinking of the stem), or poor positioning of the prosthesis.
- Audible noises: Clicking, grinding, or popping sounds coming from the joint may be harmless in some cases, but if they are new or accompanied by pain, they may indicate implant instability or wear.
- Difficulty performing daily activities: If tasks such as walking, getting in and out of a chair, or climbing stairs become increasingly difficult despite having had a hip replacement, further investigation may be needed to assess the function of the implant.
Dr Hockings’ approach to diagnosing implant problems
If you’re experiencing problems following a total hip replacement, a careful and thorough diagnostic process is essential. Dr Jason Hockings is highly experienced in evaluating failing hip replacements and takes a systematic approach to ensure the underlying cause is clearly understood before recommending revision surgery.
- Comprehensive medical history and symptom review
Your consultation will begin with a detailed discussion about:
- When your symptoms began and how they’ve changed over time
- Your level of pain, stiffness, instability, or reduced mobility
- Any previous complications such as infection or dislocation
- Your medical history, general health, and any surgeries you’ve had since the original hip replacement
Dr Hockings will also ask about your activity levels, walking ability, use of mobility aids, and how your symptoms are impacting your quality of life.
- Physical examination
A focused orthopaedic examination will assess:
- The strength and stability of the joint
- Range of motion and stiffness
- Tenderness, swelling, or warmth around the hip
- Gait pattern and leg alignment
- Signs of nerve or soft tissue involvement
These insights help Dr Hockings determine whether the implant is functioning mechanically and structurally as it should.
- Imaging studies
A range of imaging tests may be requested to assess the position and condition of your implant:
- X-rays: The most common starting point. These allow Dr Hockings to evaluate the alignment of the components, identify loosening, subsidence (sinking of the stem), fractures, or implant wear.
- CT scan: A 3D scan provides detailed images of bone and implant positioning, especially useful in cases where bone loss or structural changes are suspected.
- Bone scan or nuclear imaging: May be used to detect signs of infection, inflammation, or implant loosening.
- MRI (in certain cases): Advanced imaging with metal artefact reduction can be used to assess surrounding soft tissues or detect fluid collections.
- Blood tests and joint aspiration (if infection is suspected)
If infection is a potential cause of implant failure, further tests may include:
- Blood tests to check for markers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- Joint aspiration, where a sterile needle is used to draw fluid from around the hip to test for infection. This is done under local anaesthetic and may be guided by imaging.
- Collaborative decision-making
Once all information has been gathered, Dr Hockings will discuss:
- The likely cause of your symptoms
- Whether revision surgery is necessary or if non-operative strategies could help
- The risks, expected outcomes, and timing of any proposed surgery
- The specific surgical plan if revision is recommended, including implant type, surgical approach, and any need for bone grafts or specialist components
This collaborative approach ensures you are fully informed and supported to make the right decision for your health and lifestyle goals.
Surgical options: Types of revision hip procedures
The type of revision hip replacement you may require depends on which part of the original prosthesis is failing, as well as the extent of bone loss, infection, or implant wear. Revision surgery is tailored to each patient and can range from minor adjustments to complete reconstruction of the hip joint.
Below are the most common types of revision procedures:
- Isolated liner exchange: This is a relatively limited procedure where only the plastic liner inside the acetabular cup (socket) is replaced. It may be suitable if the surrounding components are still firmly fixed and functioning well.
- Femoral component revision: This involves removing and replacing the femoral stem (the part inserted into the thigh bone). This may be needed if the stem has loosened, fractured, or if there is bone loss around it.
- Acetabular component revision: The acetabular cup (socket) is removed and replaced. If there has been significant bone loss in the pelvis, bone grafts or specialised implants (such as augments or cages) may be used to rebuild the socket and provide stable fixation.
- Full revision (both components): In cases where both the femoral and acetabular components are failing, a full revision may be required. This involves replacing the entire hip prosthesis and may include reconstructive techniques to address bone defects.
- Two-stage revision for infection: If a deep infection is present, a two-stage approach is often recommended. In the first stage, the prosthesis is removed, and a temporary antibiotic-loaded spacer is inserted. After the infection is cleared (typically over several weeks to months), a second operation is performed to implant a new hip replacement.
Each of these procedures requires detailed pre-operative planning, advanced surgical techniques, and careful post-operative management to support the best possible outcome. Dr Jason Hockings will discuss the most appropriate approach based on your specific clinical situation.
Planning your surgery: Surgical approach and implant selection
Revision hip replacement surgery requires a carefully planned and highly individualised approach. Unlike a primary hip replacement, which often follows a standardised pathway, revision procedures are more complex and must be tailored to address the unique issues associated with your existing implant, bone structure, and soft tissues. Dr Jason Hockings draws on advanced diagnostic tools, surgical experience, and evidence-based techniques to formulate a surgical plan that prioritises stability, longevity, and function.
Pre-operative planning and imaging
Before your surgery, Dr Hockings will thoroughly review your clinical history, symptoms, previous surgical notes (if available), and recent imaging. This includes:
- X-rays to assess implant positioning, loosening, or signs of wear
- CT scans to evaluate bone loss or structural changes in detail
- Blood tests to screen for infection or inflammation
- Joint aspiration (if needed) to assess for infection markers in the joint fluid
This information helps determine which components of the prosthesis need to be revised and what reconstructive techniques may be required.
Surgical approach
The surgical approach chosen for your revision surgery will depend on several factors, including your anatomy, previous incision sites, the location of the failing component, and the complexity of the procedure. Common approaches include:
- Posterior approach
This approach provides excellent access to both the femoral and acetabular components and is often used in complex revision surgeries. It allows for better exposure when bone grafting or extensive reconstruction is required. - Extended anterior or lateral approaches
If your original hip replacement was performed using an anterior approach, Dr Hockings may consider modifying this for the revision. However, for more extensive reconstructions, the posterior approach is often preferred due to its versatility and access.
In many cases, the approach is customised based on intraoperative findings and the condition of the soft tissues and bone.
Choosing the right implants
Implant selection is one of the most critical aspects of revision hip surgery. Dr Hockings selects implants based on:
- The extent of bone loss
Specialised implants such as modular femoral stems, dual mobility cups, revision acetabular components, or augment blocks may be used to restore joint stability and compensate for missing bone. - Soft tissue condition
In cases where the surrounding ligaments or tendons have been compromised, a constrained liner may be required to help prevent dislocation. - Patient factors
Your age, activity level, bone quality, and overall health play a role in determining the most suitable implant components for durability and function. - Previous implant compatibility
When possible, Dr Hockings aims to preserve well-fixed components. However, if replacement is necessary, modern implant systems allow flexibility to match and align with your existing anatomy.
Each implant used in revision surgery is selected for its proven design, material quality, and suitability for your specific revision needs. The goal is to restore stability, improve function, and maximise the longevity of your new hip replacement.

Inside the operation: What to expect during surgery
Revision hip replacement surgery is more complex than a primary hip replacement and requires careful execution. The operation is tailored to the specific reasons for revision, such as implant loosening, infection, wear, or bone loss, and may involve removing and replacing one or more components of your original prosthesis.Â
Anaesthesia and positioning
On the day of surgery, you will meet with your anaesthetist to finalise your anaesthetic plan. Most revision hip procedures are performed under a spinal anaesthetic with sedation or a general anaesthetic. This will be discussed with you prior to surgery to ensure your comfort and safety. Once you are in the operating theatre, you will be positioned to allow optimal access to the hip joint, typically lying on your side or back depending on the surgical approach selected. Your leg will be carefully supported, and sterile drapes will be placed to maintain a clean surgical field.
Step-by-step outline of the surgical procedure
While each revision case is unique, the operation generally follows this sequence:
- Incision and exposure: Dr Hockings makes an incision over your hip joint, often along or near the scar from your previous surgery. The soft tissues and muscles are carefully moved aside to access the prosthesis and surrounding bone.
- Assessment of existing components: The existing implants are evaluated for wear, loosening, or damage. If any parts of the prosthesis remain stable and well-fixed, they may be preserved to avoid unnecessary disruption to the bone.
- Removal of failing components: The affected prosthetic components (e.g. femoral stem, acetabular cup, or liner) are removed using specialised instruments. This step must be done delicately to protect the surrounding bone and soft tissues. If there is bone loss, bone grafting may be required.
- Bone preparation and reconstruction: Any bone defects are cleaned and reconstructed using bone grafts, metal augments, or modular implants to rebuild the structural support of your joint. This ensures the new components can be securely fixed.
- Implanting new prosthetic components: New implants are then carefully inserted. These may include:
- A new acetabular cup with a plastic, ceramic, or dual mobility liner
- A new femoral stem that fits securely into your thigh bone
- A new femoral head designed to match the socket for smooth movement
- Stability and motion checks: Dr Hockings will test the new joint for proper alignment, stability, leg length, and range of motion before finalising the implantation.
- Closure and dressings: Once all components are secure and the hip is functioning well, the layers of soft tissue and skin are closed with sutures. A sterile dressing is applied, and a local anaesthetic infusion may be used to help manage pain after surgery.
Duration of surgery
Revision hip surgery typically takes longer than a standard hip replacement—anywhere from 2 to 4 hours—depending on the complexity of the case and whether reconstruction is required. You will be monitored in recovery before returning to the ward.
Recovery after revision hip replacement surgery
Recovering from revision hip replacement surgery is often more involved than recovery after a primary hip replacement. The extent of your recovery will depend on several factors, including the complexity of your surgery, your general health, and the condition of the bone and soft tissue surrounding your hip joint. Dr Jason Hockings and his team will guide you through every stage of your recovery with a structured plan designed to support your healing, mobility, and return to daily life.
Immediately after surgery
You will wake up in the recovery unit where your vital signs are monitored closely. Once stable, you will be transferred to the orthopaedic ward. Early mobilisation is an important part of recovery, many patients are assisted out of bed and walking (with a frame or crutches) on the same day or the day after surgery.
Pain and swelling are managed using a combination of:
- Prescribed pain relief medications
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Ice therapy
- Elevation of the leg
- Compression garments and/or foot pumps to reduce blood clot risk
A drain or local anaesthetic infusion catheter may be in place for the first 24–48 hours. You will also receive blood-thinning medication for several weeks to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Your hospital stay
Patients typically stay in hospital for 2 to 5 days, depending on your recovery progress and level of independence. During this time, you will begin:
- Physiotherapy: Tailored to restore strength and range of motion in your hip and to retrain safe walking techniques.
- Occupational therapy: You may receive support and training in how to perform daily tasks (dressing, toileting, showering) safely at home.
- Discharge planning: Dr Hockings’ team will coordinate follow-up care, including any home support, rehabilitation referrals, or equipment you may need.
Recovery at home
Once discharged, your recovery continues at home. Most patients use a walking aid (frame, crutches, or stick) for 2–6 weeks after surgery, gradually weaning off it as strength and balance return.
Key aspects of your at-home recovery include:
- Wound care: Keep your wound clean and dry. Dressings are typically reviewed or changed around day 7–10. Notify your care team if you notice increasing redness, discharge, or fever.
- Medication: Continue blood thinners and pain medications as prescribed.
- Exercise and movement: Follow your physiotherapy exercises daily to improve hip mobility and muscle strength. Walking several times per day is encouraged.
- Lifestyle modifications: Avoid high-impact activity, twisting motions, or deep bending while your hip is healing.
- Driving: You may resume driving when you can walk without a walking aid and are no longer taking strong pain medication—usually around 4–6 weeks, depending on your progress.
Longer-term recovery
It may take several months to fully regain function, particularly if your revision involved major bone reconstruction or treatment for infection.
Typical milestones:
- 6 weeks: Most patients can walk independently and resume basic daily activities.
- 3 months: Continued improvement in strength, balance, and walking endurance. Return to non-strenuous work and light activities.
- 6 to 12 months: Full recovery for many patients, including return to low-impact sports, travel, and recreational activities.
Rehabilitation support
Depending on your needs, you may be referred to:
- Outpatient physiotherapy
- Community rehabilitation programs
- Hydrotherapy or gym-based strengthening
- Home rehabilitation services
Dr Hockings will work closely with your rehab team to monitor your progress and adapt your recovery plan as needed.
Risks and important considerations
All surgical procedures carry risks, and revision hip replacement is generally more complex than a first-time hip replacement. Understanding the potential risks and how they are managed can help you make informed decisions and feel more confident going into surgery. Dr Jason Hockings will discuss these risks with you during your consultation and explain the steps taken to reduce the chance of complications.
Why revision surgery carries increased risk
Revision hip replacement surgery is typically more technically demanding because:
- There may be damage to the surrounding bone or soft tissues.
- Scar tissue and altered anatomy from the previous surgery can make exposure more difficult.
- Bone loss or infection may require additional reconstructive techniques.
- Surgery times may be longer, increasing the risk of blood loss or complications.
Dr Hockings is experienced in managing these complexities and uses thorough pre-operative planning and precise surgical technique to address the unique challenges each case presents.
Potential risks of revision hip surgery
Some of the risks specific to revision hip replacement include:
- Infection: Infection is a serious but uncommon complication. It may be superficial (around the skin and wound) or deep (involving the joint itself). Deep infections may require additional surgery and extended antibiotics. Dr Hockings uses strict sterile protocols, pre-operative screening, and antibiotic therapy to minimise this risk.
- Dislocation: Revision hips are at higher risk of dislocating compared to primary hips, especially if there is muscle weakness, scar tissue, or altered anatomy. Specialised implants such as dual mobility cups may be used to help reduce this risk.
- Blood clots (DVT/PE): You’ll receive medications, compression stockings, and early mobilisation to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). Staying active after surgery is one of the best ways to minimise this risk.
- Loosening or failure of the new implant: Although modern implants are designed to be long-lasting, any artificial joint can loosen over time. Dr Hockings selects appropriate implants based on your bone quality, anatomy, and activity level to support a durable outcome.
- Leg length difference: It can be more difficult to maintain leg length symmetry during revision surgery, particularly if there has been significant bone loss. Dr Hockings uses intraoperative assessment and careful implant positioning to reduce the likelihood of noticeable leg length discrepancy.
- Nerve or blood vessel injury: Major nerves and vessels are close to the hip joint and can be affected, although this is uncommon. Most nerve injuries, if they occur, are temporary and improve with time.
- Ongoing pain or stiffness: Some patients may continue to experience hip discomfort, particularly if the surrounding soft tissues are weakened. Rehabilitation plays a key role in regaining mobility and improving long-term outcomes.
General surgical risks
As with all major operations, revision hip replacement carries general risks such as:
- Bleeding (sometimes requiring transfusion)
- Anaesthetic complications
- Urinary tract infections or constipation
- Pressure injuries (from prolonged time lying down)
- Wound healing problems
Your role in reducing risk
There are several things you can do before and after surgery to reduce your risk of complications:
- Optimise your health – Conditions like diabetes, obesity, anaemia, or smoking can increase your risk. Dr Hockings may recommend a health optimisation program prior to surgery.
- Follow post-operative instructions – Carefully following rehabilitation guidelines, wound care advice, and medication schedules will support a safer and more successful recovery.
- Attend all follow-up appointments – These allow your recovery to be monitored and any early concerns to be addressed promptly.
