Prosthetic failure

Prosthetic failure refers to the inability of a prosthetic device, such as a joint replacement or dental implant, to function as intended, often due to mechanical issues, infection, or biological rejection. This matter is critical in clinical practice as it can lead to pain, decreased mobility, and the need for revision surgery, significantly impacting patient quality of life. A common complication associated with prosthetic failure is aseptic loosening, where the implant becomes unstable without infection.
