Revision surgery for a failed metal on metal (MoM) hip arthroplasty is often unpredictable and challenging due to associated massive soft tissue and bony lesions. We present the analysis and early outcomes of revision surgery in failed MoM hip arthroplasties at our institution. We have retrospectively analysed the findings and outcomes of revision surgery in 61 failed MoM hip arthroplasties performed between 2009 and 2014. These patients were identified in the special MoM hip surveillance pathway. All these patients underwent clinical assessment and relevant investigations. Intra-operative and histopathological findings were analysed.Background
