Total hip replacement surgery is considered one of the most effective measures in restoring mobility in people suffering from debilitating hip pain. During primary total hip replacement surgery, the damaged or worn-out hip joints of the patient are replaced with an artificial joint made up of plastic, metal, or ceramic to regain the function of the hip. Revision hip replacement surgery is an effective surgery performed to repair or replace the worn parts of the artificial hip joint placed during the hip replacement surgery. In some cases, the whole artificial hip joint needs to be removed or replaced with a new one. This surgery helps to rectify any problems the patient might have been having with the original implant (artificial hip joint) and re-establish its function. One of the issues requiring the revision hip replacement surgery is the failure of the artificial implant to attach securely to the joint due to an infection or due to extensive use of the joint over the period of 10 – 15 years.
