A member asked:
Are there any risks associated with the use of long range infrared saunas and prosthetic hip replacements? could the sauna cause loosening? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Infra red saunas do not penetrate deep enough to even be considered as a factor in hip replacement longevity.
