Risks of an anterior hip replacement include infection, blood clots, nerve damage, and dislocation of the hip joint. There is also a possibility of fractures around the implant or issues with implant loosening over time. Patients may experience persistent pain or stiffness in the hip joint, and there may be a risk of complications related to anesthesia. Overall, while anterior hip replacement can offer benefits, it's essential to discuss these risks with a healthcare provider.
