General Information about Hip Implants | 合法醫療器材資訊網

Hip implants are medical devices intended to restore mobility and relieve pain usually associated with arthritis and other hip diseases or injuries. Every hip implant has benefits and risks. Every hip implant system has unique device design features such as size, shape, and material, and dimensions. In addition, the same hip implant system may have different outcomes in different patients. There are several factors that may influence the outcome and longevity of a hip implant including the device design features, surgeon experience and implantation technique, and individual patient characteristics such as age, sex, weight, activity level and overall health.

Although hip replacement is typically successful, it is important to know that hip implants may need to be replaced eventually.
