A member asked:
How precise is the muscle that is attached to the artificial hip implant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?: There are no muscles that connect to a total hip implant. Both components are implanted in the bones of the pelvis and thigh bone. The muscles are left connected to the bones. Some approaches involve cutting muscles and ligaments, which are sewn back together at the end of the procedure.
