Revision Hip Replacement Introduction
Over time the original components of a Total Hip Replacement can break down and loosen from the bone surface they were once firmly attached. Revision Hip Replacement involves the exchange of some or all worn components with new ones.

Specialized components, bone graft and cement may be used to rebuild the hip joint.
