Most total hip replacements are very successful. Over time, however, a hip replacement can wear out or fail for different reasons. These cases require a revision surgery to replace the original hip...

DePuy identified reasons for the failure of the hip replacement system as component loosening, component malalignment, infection, fracture of the bone, dislocation, metal sensitivity and...
Early failure associated with adverse reactions to metal debris is an emerging problem after hip resurfacing but the exact mechanism is unclear. We analysed our entire series of 660 metal-on-metal...
Metal-on-metal hip replacements have a much higher failure rate than other options and "should not be implanted", say researchers.
Abstract♦ Total hip replacements (THRs) may fail in various ways. They may become infected, they may be subject to aseptic loosening, they may dislocate, o
