Hip condition

Painful or failed hip replacement

Ongoing problems after a previous hip replacement

What is it?

Most hip replacements work well for many years. Some may become painful, loose, unstable or infected and need careful investigation.

Common signs

  • New or persistent pain after hip replacement
  • Dislocation or instability
  • Wound or infection concerns

When to seek advice

If symptoms affect your sleep, work or daily activities, or have not improved with simple measures, an assessment can help clarify the cause and your options.

This page provides general information and is not a substitute for a consultation. Every patient is different; your options, risks and recovery will be discussed with you personally.
