- Subject
- HIP Implant Revision
- Description
Please provide the number of hip implant revisions the Trust has carried out in the last three years. For your information, a hip implant revision is the surgery carried out on someone who has previously had a hip replacement. The revision involves either resurfacing the device that was initially implanted or replacing it.
And, provided it does not exceed the cost limit, please provide information on the initial implant which had to be revised in the revision surgery – namely the type of implant (ie metal-on-metal, ceramic-on-metal etc) and the manufacturer
- Response
Please see attached table.
We are unable to provide information about the initial implant as the original hip replacement might not have been done at this hospital.
