How is this kind of device used and who are they for?

Patients that suffer from arthritic medical problems or have severe broken bones typically receive implants. Typical medical problems that are taken into consideration for a surgical procedure for an implant are: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and traumatic arthritis.

Many of these hip devices typically use balls and sockets. These sockets fixed into the pelvic region and fit tightly close to the ball. Then, this part of the device attaches to a spear which is then sealed into the bone of the thigh. The devices are most commonly metals and plastics.

What may make these Artificial Hips faulty or dangerous?

Stryker hip devices use ceramics in their materials while similar devices use metals and plastics. The section of the device using ceramics was part of the recall beginning with concern about the possibility that where there were produced was not properly sterilized. This reason for the recall did not have enough proof, however, several of the devices had manufacturer defects that could cause people to become injured. These devices had a high risk of making sounds such as a pop or squeak when someone was moving and several doctors faced concerns about these sound issues indicating greater defects with the devices. Common defects that the doctors are worried about are: the device being broken and the devices being worn out too fast causing problems for the people using them.
