Methods are described for improving the performance of implanted prosthetic joints through the use of magnetic technology. Arrays of magnets are employed to modify static and/or dynamic loads developed on prosthetic joints during their use. Resulting advantages include, but are not limited to: longer functional prosthetic life; reduced frequency of surgical procedures for repair or replacement of prosthetics; reduced rate of prosthetic-associated complications such as osteolysis and/or joint dislocation; and enhanced economic benefits proceeding from these advantages. |
