The detection of prosthesis loosening in total hip replacement remains a problematic issue. Common techniques such as radiography and arthrography have not been shown to be very effective. Although originally developed for the assessment of fracture healing, vibration analysis was proposed as a method for the detection of loose prostheses [1,2]. In this paper, we will discuss the principles used in the vibration analysis in relation with the detection of loose prothesis and discuss the potential and limitations.
