I would like to know what brand hip has the least amount of problems and recalls since i am in need of one.?

Surgeons: Usually, the best way to get the best hip replacement is to find an orthopedic surgeon that you can trust and have a good relationship with. The best brand is not always determined by the name. It is more determined by hands of the surgeon. Hip replacements also vary and need to be tailored to the individual. The problem hips and recalled hips don't even come up in the conversation.

Not an easy ANSWER: Its not that easy to answer this. Some countries and hospitals keep extensive accounts but information usually reveal what is a offending issue ( such as the recent issues regarding metal on metal hips and there is not a pure science regarding these either. Google the words hip registry i and you will see how complex the information gathering is. But you will not find "the best".
