Do Iliac Crest Implants Feel Hard?

Q: Dr. Eppley,  Are the titanium hip implants hard when someone touches you? Can I see some before & after pictures please?

A: They are metal so they are hard to the touch, just like your natural iliac crest bone. We are just starting implantation of these implants here in the U.S. so we don’t have any results yet to show. To see results go to the Korean site where they were developed and have been implanting them for several years.
