The weight of a hip prosthesis typically ranges from about 1 to 2 pounds (approximately 0.45 to 0.9 kilograms), depending on the materials used and the specific design of the implant. Most modern prostheses are made from lightweight materials such as titanium or cobalt-chromium alloys, which help minimize the overall weight while maintaining strength and durability. The exact weight can vary based on the manufacturer and the individual patient’s needs.
