Reasons For Pelvic Joint Reoperation

There are several reasons for the need for re-surgery or revision surgery of pelvic, including:
  •  The artificial pelvic prosthesis may be worn or broken; which over time can cause damage to the surrounding bone.
  •  The prosthesis may loosen, causing pain over time.
  • Prosthetic dislocation can sometimes occur when the ball of the femoral head separates from the pelvic socket.
  •  In rare cases, the prosthesis becomes infected and affects the tissues around the joint.
  • All of these conditions can affect the normal function of the pelvic joint and cause pain. In these cases, reoperation of the pelvic joint will be necessary.​​​​​​​

The Process Of Performing Pelvic Joint Reoperation

In pelvic joint reoperation, the prosthetic joint is removed and replaced with a new prosthetic joint. The reoperation procedure is similar to pelvic replacement surgery but is more complicated and takes longer (about 2 to 4 hours). The details of pelvic joint replacement surgery vary from patient to patient, depending on the cause of the failure, but the general surgical procedure is as follows:

First, the old prosthetic pieces are removed.

The damaged bone or tissue is removed, and the area is prepared for a new prosthesis.

In cases where the bone is lost, a bone graft is needed in the area.

Finally, the surgeon places a new prosthesis similar to pelvic arthroplasty.


Pelvic joint reoperation will relieve pain, improve pelvic function, and increase quality of life.
