A hip implant or prosthetic is a medical device that is used to replace damaged and degenerated parts of the hip joint during hip replacement surgery. Hip replacement surgery is the best and most long-term treatment for degenerative hip issues like hip osteonecrosis, hip arthritis, etc.
Each hip implant has a unique shape, size, and dimensions based on the patient’s stature, the extent of the condition, etc. Most hip implants last for at least 15-20 years without wear and tear damage, however, the exact longevity of the implant depends on the material and design of the implant.
In this page, we have provided a detailed account of what hip implants are, how they are made, and how you should choose them. Read ahead to find out more.

There are 4 main components in hip implants, i.e., the cup, head, neck, and stem. The stem component fits into the femoral bone, while the head replaces the end of the femur. The head component sits inside the cup that replaces the acetabular socket in the thigh bone.
The main function of a hip implant is to relieve the patient’s pain and mimic natural hip movements. If it is unable to do so, then it is not the right choice for you. All hip implants are mainly made of 3 types of components:
Hip implants are designed based on a variety of factors, such as the material chosen, the implantation technique to be used, the patient’s age, gender, weight, activity level, health condition, etc.

There are four main types of hip implants available in the market currently. We have provided a brief explanation regarding the same below:
In these implants, the ball over the femoral head is made of metal, but the thigh bone socket is made of plastic or has a plastic lining. These implants are susceptible to wear and tear in both metal and plastic components and therefore can become loose after some time.
For these implants, the ball component is made of ceramic material, while the socket is made of plastic or has a plastic lining. These implants can lead to osteolysis (destruction of underlying supporting bone) in some cases.
In this implant, both articulating surfaces, i.e., the ball and the socket, have a ceramic lining. These implants have high wear resistance and last for a long time. However, since ceramics can be brittle if not made properly, they are more prone to fracture than metal implants.
For these implants, the ball is made of ceramic, while the socket is made of metal or has a metal lining. These implants have less wear than traditional metal-on-metal implants and are thus preferred over them for hip replacement surgery.
In these implants, both components are made of metal, and they don’t have a plastic liner or cushioning between them. Due to the lack of cushioning, these implants can cause stress while walking. They are generally not preferred nowadays as they have larger components and can release ions in the bloodstream.
Your surgeon will evaluate your case and determine the best kind of implant for you before your surgery to ensure the best and most long-lasting results.
There are three types of fixation techniques used by hip surgeons to fix the implant to the surrounding bone during hip replacement surgery:
Some of the best manufacturers of hip implants in India and globally are:
While choosing a hip implant, the surgeon considers the following factors for a successful hip replacement surgery:
Based on such questions and the patient’s preferences, the surgeon will make their final selection. It is very important the right type of hip implant is used during the surgery to avoid complications that might necessitate re-surgery and revision hip replacement.
Normally, hip replacement is an advanced and risk-free surgery, however, in rare cases, there can be certain complications. The most common risks that can occur during or after hip replacement surgery are:
These complications are normally completely managed if they are discovered in time. You should consult your surgeon immediately if you notice any signs of complications such as groinal pain, hip or leg inflammation, limping, popping sound while moving the hip joint, etc.
After a hip replacement, you need to relearn how to move around. In some cases, stressing the joint can lead to implant dislocation. Though dislocation is incredibly rare, if it is to occur, it generally occurs within the first few weeks of the surgery.
If a dislocation occurs within a few weeks of the replacement surgery, the surgeon can push back the implant in the socket in a procedure called closed reduction. If closed reduction is not possible, then surgery might be needed to relocate the joint.
Surgery for relocation of the hip implant involves muscle or ligament tightening for the tissues surrounding the joint or replacement of the prosthetic joint with a better-fitting implant.
Patients can prevent the dislocation of hip implants by following the given tips:
