Getting through airport security smoothly After a Joint replacement or Metal Implantation Surgery

When traveling having had a joint replacement or Metal Implantation Surgery, the implant is likely to set off airport detectors.  This is not usually problematic as airport security staff are accustomed to such situations, but it is best to be prepared.

Advise security officers about your implant.

Let the security officer know that you have a replacement and where it is located. The security officer should offer you a private screening consisting of a handheld detector sweep and a pat-down inspection. You will not need to show your surgical scar or remove any clothing, but feel free to ask to be screened in a private area.

Carry a joint replacement ID card

These cards identify the holder of the card as a Joint replacement or Metal Implantation Surgery patient. They are not essential but can be helpful.  They confirm that the implant may activate metal detectors
