Many people have had hip replacements.
In its simplest terms, a hip consists of a ball and a socket.
When a traditional hip replacement is performed, the ball is replaced and the socket gets a new lining. Different materials are used to replace the ball and socket. When metal is used for both the ball and the socket, it is called a metal on metal hip replacement.
