Compared with conventional artificial hips, metal variants present additional risks. The metal ball and its cup slide over each other when the person who owns the prosthesis moves the joint. There is a risk that small parts of the prosthesis may become detached due to wear and tear and contaminate the implant environment. It can even happen that these metal particles end up in the bloodstream. The expectation is that people will not react the same to an artificial hip made of metal compared to a more common hip made of, for example, plastic. Metallic implants may also cause damage to the bone or tissue to which they are attached. There are also known cases where the metal ions cause heart disease and disorders of the nervous system.
Persons undergoing hip surgery involving the replacement of the hip joint by metallic implants should be aware of the symptoms that may occur and should be aware that the implant may not function fully satisfactorily. Symptoms may include: pain in the bone, hip, or leg, swelling near the implant, and difficulty in walking. It is also recommended that patients with a metal hip implant pay extra attention to their general health. Symptoms of a problem implant can be: chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, poor vision or hearing, weight gain, cold and a change in plasma habits.
