Patients with previously replaced joints can also complain of hip and knee pain in Bedford, depending on their previous history and current condition. The situation is usually more complex than in the case of a native joint and has to be assessed by a specialist trained in revision (re-do) surgery, as Mr Dan Arvinte is. There are multiple reasons why a replaced hip can become painful: infection, instability, impingement of soft tissues around the hip, peri-prosthetic fracture, aseptic loosening.
In these situations, a proper history and thorough clinical examination, alongside well-chosen imaging, can shed more light on a diagnosis - and exclude problems associated with another joint or a different part of the body. Revision (re-do) surgery may be necessary. A revision hip replacement is bigger surgery than primary hip replacement and is associated with higher risks and less predictable results. Mr Arvinte will take you through all the steps involved and will guide you through the decision-making process. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons provides a useful guide to revision (re-do) surgery.
