Patients who have hip implants should be aware of potential symptoms that may occur three or more months after surgery that may indicate that their device is not functioning properly.
Symptoms may include:
- Pain in the groin, hip or leg
- Swelling at or near the hip joint
- A limp or change in walking ability
- Noise (popping, grinding, clicking or squeaking) from the hip joint
Depending on the severity of the adverse event(s), additional surgery may be necessary.
