Revision Hip Arthroplasty

Revision Hip Arthroplasty or Revision Hip Replacement involves removing previously placed components or prosthesis, and replanting a new device. This surgery is usually more complicated than a first time hip replacement, and can involve the removal of the acetabular component (cup), plastic liner, the femoral component (stem), or all three. Reasons for revision hip surgery include pain, instability, loosening over time, infection or fracture.

Wait Times

Please Note: Wait times for a surgical opinion are between 7-8 months after receiving a consult from your family doctor or another orthopedic surgeon.

Please Note: Surgical wait times are currently at 12-16 months from the time of booking once seen by Dr. Rodriguez-Elizalde

We apologize for the delay, but recent news of the Direct Anterior Total Hip Replacement has caused a surge of referrals and surgical bookings. If you currently have surgery booked with another orthopedic surgeon within the next year, please do not cancel it.

We will likely not be able to process your request sooner. We look forward to being able to refer you to more orthopedic surgeons who perform this technique soon.
