Doubtfully you will find one surgeon that would say another surgeon had screwed up due to medical malpractice insurance cost! I honestly feel that when my wife had her total bilateral she was dropped which fractured her pelvic on the right side but due to a compressed femur nerve on the left leg, she was forced to walk on the right hip until the nerve regenerated, 9 months and then it was, you need a revision on the right hip ASAP. Even rehab dropped her in the shower and there was a lot of covering up! The rehab attorney called me and told me they did all by the book and it was an assisted fall and called me to inform me of what had happened once they got her back in bed. All this was a Total lie, because I was there when she fell and I am the one that picked her up and placed her back into her wheel chair. However, all documentation was wrote out in such a way that they covered their A!!es all the way around!

True. But a skilled and experienced revision surgeon can review the work, x-rays, etc. and advise one that a repair needs to be done without declaring that it is the result of shoddy work.
After finding the right revision surgeon, I would approach her saying something like: "I had hip surgery and some thing seems wrong. Can you identify the issue and can you fix it?" That leaves causation out of the conversation and is more likely to lead to a healthy result. If the revision surgeon won't discuss that, he isn't the surgeon you want.
