Revisions are more complex than the original replacement. Pick your surgeon and hospital carefully. Consider Mayo or a teaching hospital. Pick a place/doc that publishes their success rates. Ask tough questions..bad outcomes, risks...and costs. Try to get in and out of the hospital in the shortest period (hospitals harbor bad bugs). Avoid pain pills until after surgery. You can give any excess to me....just sayin'.
