Over 450,000 hip replacement surgeries are performed annually. A hip or knee replacement surgery should last up to 20 years or more. However, serious complications do occur, and it is estimated that 40% of the knee and hip replacement surgeries performed result in medical complications.
One big problem has been numerous recalls on metal hip implants and metal knee implants. There are a variety of implants that surgeons can use, and unfortunately many have been recalled due to failure.
