What May Have Happened (or be Happening) to Your Hip Implant
Your hip implant is made up of ball and socket components that move against each other. These components are made of metal that wears over time and generates very small particles that can only be seen with a microscope. A small number of patients may react to these particles, causing fluid to collect in the joint and in the muscles around the joint. While this condition may initially be painless, if left untreated, this reaction may cause pain and swelling around the joint and could cause permanent damage to the muscles, bones, and nerves around the hip.
To determine if there is a problem with your total hip replacement, a number of tests may have to be done, including the following:
- Radiographic evaluation
- Testing for cobalt and chromium ion levels
- MRI or ultrasound
If either metal ion concentration is above 7 parts per billion (ppb), additional testing may be necessary. If MRI or ultrasound scan reveals soft tissue reactions, fluid collections or tissue masses, then you may need revision surgery.
