Over the past several years I have been commenting about the incredible number of metal on metal hip implant replacement failures. The epidemic of premature metal on metal hip implant failure continues surge at an alarming rate. According to experts, all metal on metal hips will eventually fail prematurely, it is not a question of if but when.
Hip replacement surgery (hip arthroplasty) has helped millions of people overcome painful degenerative arthritis, hip fractures and improve their mobility. Unfortunately, hip metal implants are not risk free or without side effect complications. Many hip implant patients have suffered premature implant failure and other serious complications associated with their hip replacement.
