How much does a hip replacement weigh?

A typical hip replacement implant weighs between 1 to 3 pounds (approximately 0.45 to 1.36 kilograms), depending on the materials used and the specific design of the prosthesis. The implant usually consists of a metal stem, a ball, and a socket, with some components made of ceramic or polyethylene. The overall weight can vary based on the manufacturer and the specific needs of the patient.
