So you are having revision surgery on the same revision you just had less than 3 months ago?

Unfortunately yes. The initial revision was because the bone cement on the upper part didn’t hold. A new upper metal piece was put in the femur. I have had significant popping, clunking and intermittent pain throughout my days. So I’m having another revision less than 4 months out from the last revision to replace the polymer spacer. It’s a bit disappointing, but if this revision works, Hallelujah!
