Dr. Alexander Sah answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Reconstructive Surgery

What's loose?: Hip replacement being loose can refer to the hip being unstable, or to an implant being loose in the bone. Either way, evaluation by your surgeon is warranted. Want to make sure there is not failure occurring.
