Hip Replacement Revision Health Guide

A hip osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the hip joint by cutting and repositioning the hip bones. The procedure is typically done to treat hip dysplasia, a condition in which the hip joint does not form properly, leading to abnormal joint wear, pain, and potentially osteoarthritis.

Hip replacement revision, also known as revision hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a previously implanted failed or damaged hip joint replacement. This procedure involves removing the existing artificial hip joint and replacing it with a new one.
