Hip Replacement Revision Surgery

Hip Replacement Revision Surgery is performed to replace or repair a failed hip replacement. It is a more complex procedure than the initial hip replacement and involves extensive planning and specialized tools. The goal of the revision surgery is to relieve pain, improve function, and extend the life of the hip replacement.

Who Needs Hip Revision Surgery?

Most hip replacements last 15 to 20 years, especially in elderly patients. However, younger patients or those with high activity levels may need revisions sooner. Reasons for revision include implant wear and tear, infection, dislocation, or fracture.

I had minor surgery for trigger finger on 4/16/2024. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the front desk to all the nurses, anesthesiologists, and of course, Dr. Bohm, I was treated with the best patient service. Being in the service industry myself, great service is needed, and when you receive at a high level, it goes a very long way. Thank you for treating me as a special patient!!!

Had my right hip replaced by Dr Jeffrey, and couldn’t be happier with the job he did and the treatment I received. Been a few years and went in for a yearly checkup and everything is great! Great doctor and office staff!

Dr Anna Babushkina is a miracle worker. She repaired nerves, a ligament and tendon in my fingers after a dog bite. She stitched me up so nicely and made my hand look like a hand again.
