Common causes for needing a revision surgery include, loosening of the prosthesis from the bone, repetitive dislocations, infection, fracture, wear of the prosthesis, patients with a painful metal on metal hip prosthesis, instability of the knee, realignment of the metal components for improved positioning and tracking, impingement or pinching of tissue by the prosthesis, osteolysis or loss of bone, heterotopic ossification or extra bone formation, and implant recalls with pain.

It is very important to have a physician who is specialized in the treatment of these conditions to ensure that they are treated properly from the beginning.
