Top Symptoms of Hip Replacement Failure Signs and Symptoms of Hip Replacement Failure. Many of the symptoms of hip replacement failure may be confused with what a patient believes is a “normal” effect of the device. In other words, many are not aware that certain symptoms are not a side effect of the surgery. Rather, what they are experiencing are actually signs of hip replacement failure. The major causes of hip replacement failure include failure of the stem, loosening of the cup and stem and dislocation of the joint. If you notice any one or more of the following signs of hip replacement failure, consult with your healthcare provider, as well as with an attorney to learn more about your legal rights: 1  Pain or stiffness in the hip, leg, groin or thigh. 2  Lack of flexibility. 3  Limited mobility. 4  Trouble walking. 5  Sensing the joint is unsafe.

- Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition where the bones of the hip are abnormally shaped. Because they do not fit together perfectly, the hip bones rub against each other and cause damage to the joint. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The socket is formed by the acetabulum, which is part of the large pelvis bone. The ball is the femoral head, which is the upper end of the femur (thighbone).

Possible Complications After Hip Surgery Infection of the hip prosthesis may require removal of the prosthesis and antibiotic treatment. The recurrence of infection following revision hip surgery is common and still occurs in 5-10% of cases. The treatment of the infected hip joint may be done in one operation (primary exchange) or it may be done in two stages.

Failed Total Hip Replacement Furthermore, the hip prosthesis may need to be replaced if it sustains damage from an accident or traumatic injury. A total hip replacement may succumb to “wear and tear” over time. Artificial hips of today are designed to last 20 or 30 years. Eventually an artificial hip may succumb to wear and tear.

Risks The most common problem that can arise as a result of a hip replacement is loosening of the joint. This can be caused by the shaft of the prosthesis becoming loose in the hollow of the thigh bone, or due to thinning of the bone around the implant.nother common complication of hip replacement surgery is wear and tear of the artificial sockets. Particles that have worn off the artificial joint surfaces can be absorbed by surrounding tissue, causing loosening of the joint.

Hip Impingement A deformity of the ball at the top of the femur (called cam impingement). If the head is not shaped normally, the abnormal part of the head can jam in the socket when the hip is bent. This may occur during activities such as riding a bicycle or tying your shoes. A deformity of the socket (pincer impingement).

Femoroacetabular impingement Femoroacetabular Impingement, or hip impingement syndrome, may affect the hip joint in young and middle-aged adults and occurs when the ball shaped femoral head rubs abnormally or does not permit a normal range of motion in the acetabular socket. Damage can occur to the articular cartilage, or labral cartilage, or both. Treatment options range from conservative to arthroscopic to open surgery.

- Causes of Failure in Biomet Hip Implants One way an artificial hip begins to fail or loosen is that the metal parts comprising the implant rub against each other and cause small particles of metal debris to shed from the implant and inflame surrounding bone and soft tissue.
