Faulty Metal on Metal Hip Replacements

AF. FAUL TY METAL ON METAL HIP REPLACEMENTS In a total hip replacement, normally the the ball and the socket in the joint are replaced by metal implant devices. Hip devices imitate the joint by implanting the patient with a ball that mimics the femoral head and a cup that mimics the acetabulum socket.

These implants may cause serious injuries because the metal ball and cup grind against each other causing metal debris to enter the body, causing a number of symptoms.
