3. Revision of Hip Resurfacing

More complicated than primary surgery. Our results are very close to those of our primary resurfacing cases with a 96% 8-year implant survivorship. Our most problematic group is revision for loose acetabular components. Other surgeons have had extremely poor results in revision for adverse wear-related failures (AWRF). Using an approach of limited debridement and repositioning of new metal-bearing acetabular components in more ideal inclination angles, we have had a 100% success rate in this problematic group.
