Revision Hip Replacement
Exchange of part of all of previous hip replacement
Hip revision for improved comfort and function
Hip replacements are generally designed to last for a long time but there are several situations where a hip replacement may require reoperation, involving partial or complete replacement of the implants, a process also known as revision.
The primary reason for hip replacement revision is pain, which can result from several causes including wearing of the parts, or loosening of the components. Other causes for revision include instability or dislocation of the hip, fractures around the implant post-trauma, leg length discrepancy or infection.
Benefits of revision hip replacement procedures
Revision hip replacement can help to alleviate several issues, and have a range of benefits:
- Improved Functionality: Revision hip replacement can restore mobility that may be compromised by a failing initial implant.
- Pain relief: Revision hip replacements can address the root causes of discomfort and pain, offering improved quality of life.
- Enhanced movement: Revision procedures can correct instability issues such as dislocations or loosened components. Revisiob surgery may enhance the stability of the hip joint, reduce the risk of further dislocations and improve a patient’s confidence in movement.
- Increased Durability: With improved materials and techniques, revision hip replacements can extend the lifespan of the hip joint.
- Custom-Printed Implants: Mr Freedman uses 3D mapping and printing to create patient-specific implants, ensuring the best possible fit and function.
Mr Freedman’s training & experience
An Internationally-trained and renowned Orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Freeman brings over a decade of experience to providing a meticulous standard of care.
The success of technically complicated surgery depends on several elements, but one important factor is having a highly-trained and experienced surgeon.
Mr Freedman completed a fellowship in the UK to train in hip arthroscopy with Professor Damian Griffin, a world-renowned expert in hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery.
While on fellowship in the UK, Mr Freedman’s supervisor, Professor Griffin, received an invitation to observe a new hip replacement technique in Paris with Dr. Frederic Laude, a world expert in Direct Anterior hip surgery. As fate would have it, other commitments prevented Prof. Griffin from attending, so he sent Mr Freedman in his place, and he was amazed by the innovative procedure, the minimal incision, and the quick recovery of patients. Mr Freedman later returned to Paris to complete a fellowship under Dr Frederic Laude.
Upon returning to Australia, Mr Freedman, successfully implemented anterior approach hip replacements in his practice, leading to rapid growth in his case numbers and the eventual standardisation of this technique, even for complex surgeries.
