Explanation:
"Loosening. Although this complication is rare with newer implants, your new joint may not become solidly fixed to your bone or may loosen over time, causing pain in your hip."
https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/hip-replacement/...

"Despite good survival of implants, loosening of components is the most common complication. This leads to revision surgeries, which are technically demanding, expensive, and result in a low satisfaction rate."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6023061/

"The six most recognized problems include loosening of the implant, fracture of the bone around the implant, implant failure, infection causing loosening of the implant, weakness of the triceps muscle, and nerve palsy."

prosthetic detachment


Explanation:
Since this is the meaning of "scollamento", http://dizionari.corriere.it/dizionario_italiano/S/scollamen... I would go for "detachment"
https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/detachment ("the condition of being separated or disconnected.")

loosening


Explanation:

loosening (scollamento protesico): la protesi viene fatta aderire all’osso del paziente per mezzo di una miscela di polimetacrilato, che serve a mantenerla in posizione. Talvolta, per motivi non sempre chiari, questo processo non avviene e la protesi si “scolla” dall’osso, un’occorrenza che può anche essere molto dolorosa
