Hip replacement technology has come a long way in recent years. Older hip replacement techniques could be expected to last 10-15 years, but now, new technology that uses metal or ceramic has the potential to last a lifetime. These joint replacements are stronger, more durable and have an extremely low degree of friction as compared to conventional hip replacement joints previously used.
