Pretty common. I know a couple of people who have had it. Not a 
replacement but I have a gamma nail in my hip after a fall on ice a couple 
of years ago. The rehab took a couple of months but I have not problem 
hiking or doing my usual activities. It doesn't let me forget it's there 
though.

When I was a kid my grandmother broke her hip. They might as well have 
taken her out and shot her. The mechanical aspects of medical technology 
have really made progress. I'm not sure about the drugs.
