Metal and Plastic Implants. A prosthetic made of metal and plastic are the most commonly used hip replacement implants. Both the ball and the socket of the hip joint are replaced with a metal implant, and a plastic spacer is placed in between. The most commonly used metals used include titanium and stainless steel.
It is also possible, for some patients, to change the bearing surface to metal-on-polyethylene. Total hip replace-ment is an alternative for patients whose resurfacing procedure is complicated by metallosis. Advanced cases may present additional challenges; thus, early surgery is recommended.
