I have an artificial hip, so I am not going to make it through the metal detector in any case, but I have found that a quiet, polite and cooperative attitude will get you through fairly easily, 99% of the time.
I have three bolts in my left hip. I'm usually OK, but every once in a while I set off an alarm. Always minimize metal,
always be polite. I often mention the pins as I'm approaching the detector, and apologize if I set it off. It's calmer.
