Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I am sorry, but from your query, it cannot be made out clearly as to the exact status of the joint. Was the surgery successful? Or is there a continued problem with the joint? I would suggest you upload her x rays as well so we can have a look at them and then advice accordingly.

An option she may have, depending on the x rays is another revision surgery of the joint to see if the last inplant is ok, and change/replace it if that is the case. This needs a surgeon of the required calibre of course.

If you respond to my query and upload the x rays, i may be able to give you more information

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
