What Happens When A Joint Replacement Wears Out?

Aseptic loosening may occur when a joint wears out. When aseptic loosening occurs, the implants become loose due to debris developing within the joint, usually due to friction between the replacement and the spacer. In addition to groin pain that worsens with weight bearing, aseptic loosening can cause joint instability, resulting in subluxations and dislocations.
