Solution

1. If this questiom has any relation to any pic then I am not able to see any photo here.

In general I can tell the reasons:

1. Loosening in which detection occurs between bone and components. Inflammation occurs due to friction and this results in loosening of implant.

2. If hip joint is unstable it also results in implant failure.
