If you hear strange squeaking noises, they could well be emanating from an artificial hip. American surgeons and manufacturers are increasingly concerned about a possible design fault,  and naturally the lawyers are starting to smell blood:

The first time John L. Johnson’s artificial hip squeaked, he was bending down to pick up a pine cone in his yard in Thomasville, Ga. Mr. Johnson looked up, expecting to find an animal nearby... Edward Heary, an apprentice appraiser in Hatboro, Pa., said clients sometimes look with embarrassment or concern at their floorboards when he walks though their homes.... 

Not good. One troubled customer has even posted a demonstration on YouTube.
