Revision Hip Surgery

There are several reasons for a patient to require revision hip surgery, and with the latest advances in hip replacement and resurfacing technology, these revisions can now be completed in operations that usually take between 3 - 4 hours, with patients expecting a stay in hospital of between 10 and 14 days.

Mr Singer runs a popular hip revision clinic, and prefers to make uncemented revisions, using the latest techniques and implants, to preserve the bone stock wherever possible.

In cases where there is insufficient bone is available, Mr Singer can perform a bone graft.
