A well functioning hip replacement may fail over the time due to the following reasons. The list is not exhaustive. Mr Agrawal has experience in dealing with these conditions and would provide you with an independent opinion and discuss any potential treatment options where possible.

• * wearing out of joint replacement
• * loosening of the implants
• * instability (hip dislocation)
• * deep infection
• * fractures around the hip replacement (periprosthetic fractures)
• * reaction to metal debris (eg. metal-on-metal hip replacements)
• * unexplained pain
