Hip Revision Surgery Compensation

You have the right to seek compensation for pain and suffering, which includes amounts for physical pain, emotional distress, disability and other damages. Generally, revision surgery is more difficult than first-time hip replacement surgery, and the outcome is not as good.

In addition, recent research found that patients who waited over 6 months for revision surgery experienced greater pain. The following is an excerpt from the research article:

There was no change in pain or function for those waiting less than 6 months for surgery. For patients waiting 6–12 months or more than 12 months for surgery, there were statistically significant increases in pain and function (F = 7.12, p = 0.01 and F = 4.61, p = 0.01, respectively). For the 12 patients waiting 6–12 months, pain scores increased by 2 points and function scores increased by 5 points. For the 9 patients waiting more than 12 months for surgery, pain scores increased by 2 points and function scores increased by 9 points, representing increased pain and poorer function.¹
