I am having the same issues. My surgeon did not review my records or discuss with me prior to hip replacement. Now losing ability to walk. My area has limited doctors with requisite skills to do the revision or won't six work done by another. This is getting to be an ugly situation. My advice is not to give up and locate a doctor to take you on.
They take a vow to do no harm and when they do they should be held accountable. Reputation is not your problem.

@bug3 I am looking into switching my insurance from a HMO to a PPO so that I will have the freedom to find a revision doctor. Not one I have found so far takes HMO insurance. And you are right, most surgeons don't want to try and fix another surgeons mistakes, which is why we need a revision specialist....and probably a good attorney! Good luck to you!!
