FAQ
When a Hip Revision Surgery is Performed, What Happens to the Original Metal-on-Metal Hip Implant?
Have you been thinking about a new hip implant due to pain or other problems associated with your current metal-on-metal (MoM) hip implant? Receiving a new implant can cut down on the issues you are experiencing with a damaged or loose prosthetic hip as well before any more harm is done.
You might be wondering what will happen to your current metal-on-metal hip implant once you receive a new one. It helps a lot of patients to visualize the process in which doctors will go about performing a surgical procedure. We will talk about how they remove the old hip implant and how they place the new one that will hopefully relieve all your problems.
Removal of the Current Hip Implant to Make Room for the New
Metal-on-metal implants do not typically have a lot of problems becoming loose. However, patients may experience other problems with them that lead them to seek the advice of a doctor. The orthopedic surgeon will examine the symptoms and the prosthesis to determine if you need to receive a new implant.
Once it is determined that you need a new implant, the doctor will perform a hip revision surgery. This is where the old hip implant is removed in order to allow for a new implant to be put in place.
The old socket is taken out first. Then the surgeon will clean the hip socket and fill it with a type of bone in particle form called morselized bone. The new liner of the socket is put in place. Removal of the femoral (ball) part of the implant is the hardest. This component is held in place in different ways and normally takes more time to remove it. The bones are then cleaned and a new implant is put in place. The old implant is then discarded.
Should I Get Hip Revision Surgery?
As we discussed above, hip revision surgery is normally common for people who have had problems with their current implant. Over time, an implant can break down and cause pain in the joint again. In addition, some people are showing concern over a metal-on-metal implant being the cause for other health issues, so they choose to have it removed and replaced by a different material.
Recovery from hip revision surgery is a bit longer than the initial hip implant surgery. This is because some more of the bone may have had to be removed and the surgery is generally more complex than a standard hip replacement.
