Can you have more than one hip replacement?

Yes, it is possible to have more than one hip replacement on the same hip. This second surgery is called a revision hip replacement. Revision surgery may be necessary if the original implant wears out after many years, or due to less common reasons like an infection, recurrent dislocations, or a fracture around the implant. Revision surgery is a more complex procedure than the initial replacement and requires a surgeon with specialized expertise.
