Just get them coated with diamonds!

Yes, you read right.

Scientists at the University of Alabama in the USA are working hard on developing replacement hips that are coated in diamonds as a way of preserving them for longer. Currently, replacement hips need to be looked at and possibly replaced every 10-15 years but with the new diamond hip technology, you won’t ever have to worry about that.

Scientists have until now, struggled with breaking down diamonds to small enough particles that would allow it to be applied onto the hip replacements without the ‘solid’ molecular structure being compromised. The breakthrough has been seen as something amazing that will revolutionise the healthcare industry however there are questions about affordability.

This is great news and it’s wonderful to see diamonds being used not just to make people look beautiful but to help maintain their health as well.
