Mr William Aston
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
Following a hip replacement some people will need further surgery and there are many reasons for example repeated dislocations of the ball from the socket, infection, fracture, loosening or significant wear of the artificial parts.
This can range from exchange of a worn socket liner to a more complex operation involving the entire artificial joint and bony structures around it.
Your consultant will explain more about your individual circumstance and how it can be managed. Your recovery time may be longer than after the primary surgery, you might be instructed to avoid putting weight through the hip for a period of time.
We will be right there with you throughout your healthcare journey with the goal of helping you return to your normal activities as soon as possible.
