Revision hip replacement is a complex orthopaedic operation that removes a failed or failing hip implant and replaces it with new, specially designed components. It is performed when a primary hip replacement has loosened, worn out, become infected, dislocated repeatedly, fractured the surrounding bone, or otherwise stopped working properly. Because the bone has already been altered once, the surgery typically takes two to four hours, involves larger or modular implants, and may require bone grafting or metal augments to rebuild areas of bone loss. Depending on whether infection is present, the procedure may be completed in a single operation or carried out in two separate stages — the first to clear infection with an antibiotic spacer, the second to implant the definitive revision components several weeks later. Recovery is slower than after a primary hip replacement and can take up to a year, but most patients achieve meaningful pain relief and improved walking ability.
Only the failed component — such as a worn plastic liner, a loose cup, or a loose stem — is replaced, leaving the well-fixed parts of the original implant undisturbed.
Estimated cost: ~$500
Typical tests for this variant: X-ray of hip and pelvis (AP and lateral views), CT scan of hip to assess component position, ESR and CRP (infection markers), CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR, Blood sugar and HbA1c, ECG and anaesthesia fitness assessment. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $8,000 – $11,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~4 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~12 days recommended
Total stay: approx 18 days

Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this variant: X-ray of hip and pelvis (AP and lateral views), CT scan of hip to assess implant position and bone loss, ESR and CRP (infection markers), Joint aspiration with synovial fluid culture and sensitivity, CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR and coagulation profile, Blood sugar and HbA1c, ECG and anaesthesia fitness assessment. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $10,000 – $14,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~6 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~18 days recommended
