Brief Answer:
Implant wear and tear

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

Implant loosening or increased wear and tear of the implant can cause this feeling along with pain in some instances.

I would advice an X-ray of the hip first. After that a bone scan may be required to confirm.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
