A severe pain in one man's artificial hip joint turned out to be caused by an extremely rare bacterial infection, according to a new report of the man's case. But doctors are still puzzled as to how ...

Rice University engineers hope to make life better for those with replacement joints by modeling how artificial hips are likely to rub them the wrong way. The computational study by the Brown School ...

Tribological analysis of artificial hip joints encompasses detailed investigations into the mechanisms of friction, wear, and lubrication that govern the performance and longevity of hip prostheses.

Getting my worn out hip replaced was such an exciting adventure, especially pre-op! I was in pain and had mobility issues that I just did not care for. “Everybody” said I would feel relief. I would be ...

Engineers design a computational model that will ultimately serve as the engine to predict how long a hip implant could last for a specific patient. The unique model incorporates fluid dynamics and ...

Hip replacement surgery or total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures continue to increase. The frequency of THA in the U.S. is projected to grow to 635,000 procedures per year by 2030, according to Dr.

The Food and Drug Administration has told companies that make "metal on metal" artificial hips to take a closer look at how patients fare after their hip replacement surgery. The request involves ...
