Knee and hip replacements are common surgical procedures aimed at alleviating pain and restoring mobility in patients with severe joint problems. While most replacements function well and improve quality of life, some patients experience complications due to faulty implants. These issues can lead to significant pain, additional surgeries, and long-term health problems. 

​

Faulty knee and hip replacements can cause various complications, including: 

​​

• Loosening and Dislocation: Implants may become loose or dislocate, causing pain and limiting mobility. ​

• Infection: Defective implants can increase the risk of infections, leading to severe health consequences. ​

• Wear and Tear: Poorly designed implants may wear out faster than expected, necessitating revision surgeries. ​

• Metal Toxicity: Some implants made of metal can release metal ions into the bloodstream, causing metallosis and other systemic health issues. 

• Bone Fractures: Faulty implants can cause fractures in the surrounding bone, leading to further complications and surgeries.
