A member asked:
Can an artificial joint manifest a reaction or symptoms?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes?: Artificial joints only act as resurfacings for arthritic joints. Therefore, ligaments, muscles, and nerve endings are preserved. So, if the joint is irritated, unstable, or inflammed then the usual response of pain and swelling ensues. So, an artificial joint can become symptomatic like any native joint.

Yes: They can loosen or even cause the body to "reject" them.
