Orthopaedics Hervey Bay & Maryborough - Will my new hip or knee replacement beep at airport security?

Fraser Coast Orthopaedics

A common concern among patients is whether their hip or knee replacement will trigger airport metal detectors. The answer is: possibly, but it's nothing to worry about! Millions of people worldwide have metal implants, and security staff are familiar with this. Simply inform them, and they’ll guide you through the process. Modern scanning technology allows most travelers with joint replacements to pass through without issue. So, enjoy your travels with confidence—your new joint won’t hold you back!
