From what I have learned the hip implant costs should be around $70,000 up to $100,000 more or less, with that amount you could get a decent hip implant. By the way I'd like to advice you to prefer ceramic ones over metal on metal, as metal and metal ones could cause possible side effects as seen on this material I have found on the web about defects coming from metal hip implant such as Smith And Nephew's R3, yet there are also other hip implants available which could be convenient and safe for you. You can check this site for the info about claims http://www.rotlaw.com/smith-nephew-r3/

Can you get hip implants?

You can't just get hip implants if you feel like having one. You should get a hip implant just in the case that you are advised or if it is prescribed by your physician regarding your physical conditions. If your hip condition really requires changing and perhaps adding an implant, your physician knows best, and you will be guided to which specific implant will you be using, as some implants are reported to be giving hazards.I have read an article about the hazards of hip implants on a site which do seem reliable on the web.Source:http://www.rotlaw.com/smith-nephew-r3/
