Is hip revision surgery carried out within 2 years of a hip replacement?

Hello @bennybblue22, Welcome to Connect. It sounds like you may be having some pain or difficulties following a hip replacement and are now looking to see if you should have hip revision surgery. I'm tagging a few members like @babette @contentandwell @sueinmn who have posted about hip revisions and may have some experience or suggestions for you.

Here is some information that may be helpful in determining if a hip revision is needed.
"To determine whether a revision is needed, your doctor will consider several factors, including the amount of remaining bone, whether your implant is loose, and the location of the fracture. In rare circumstances, an implant itself can break. This also requires revision surgery."

How long ago was your hip replacement done?
