Revision hip replacement in Kyiv at HBMedical

What is revision hip replacement (joint implant replacement)

Revision hip replacement is a repeated operation to replace an already installed endoprosthesis or its individual components.
The main reasons: implant wear, instability, infectious complications or severe pain.

The goal of the intervention is to restore mobility, eliminate pain and return the patient to the ability to move confidently.
The result is not just a new implant, but a stable and reliable joint that ensures an active life without restrictions.

Indications for revision arthroplasty

The most common situations when a second intervention is needed:

• Loosening of the arthroplasty (due to time or infection)
• Implant wear or damage
• Periprosthetic fractures (fractures of the bone around the implant)
• Infectious complications after arthroplasty
• Frequent dislocations or a feeling of joint instability
• Allergic reactions to implant materials

Types of revision arthroplasty

Each case is individual, so the choice of technique depends on the nature of the problem and the patient’s condition. The following intervention options are performed:

• Partial replacement – only one of the components is replaced
• Complete revision – replacement of all elements of the endoprosthesis
• Use of individual revision implants
• Hip arthroplasty – restoration of bone defects for reliable fixation of the new implant
• Two-stage revision in case of infectious complications:
  • The first stage is removal of the infected implant, sanitation, installation of a temporary spacer;
  • The second stage is implantation of a new endoprosthesis after the infection has been eliminated.

Diagnosis before surgery

Successful revision endoprosthesis begins with an accurate and complete diagnosis. It includes:

• Consultation of an orthopedic surgeon
• Imaging methods: X-ray, CT or MRI
• Laboratory tests: complete blood count and urine test, joint puncture.
• Assessment of concomitant diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.)
• Individual planning of the operation, taking into account all factors and risks

How is revision surgery performed

The duration of revision endoprosthetic surgery is usually 2–4 hours. All stages are performed with the utmost attention to patient safety:

• Anesthesia – spinal or general anesthesia is used.
• Removal of old components – careful removal of worn or infected parts of the endoprosthesis.
• Bed preparation – creation of optimal conditions for reliable fixation of the new implant.
• Implantation of the revision system – installation of modern and durable components.
• Postoperative care – transfer of the patient to a comfortable ward with 24-hour supervision.

Rehabilitation after revision arthroplasty

Recovery begins immediately after surgery and takes place under the constant supervision of specialists. The program includes:

• Individual rehabilitation schedule
• Pain relief and prevention of complications
• Training in safe movement using crutches or a walker
• Working with physiotherapists, restoring muscle tone and joint function
• The expected return to normal life is 3–6 months, depending on the complexity of the case and general health.
