At least in the US, it's a good idea to tell them you're going to set off the metal detector beforehand (I have a knee replacement and routinely set off the metal detector).
If you tell them first, they generally redirect me to the full body 'scanner' and I'm on my way. If I don't tell them beforehand and set off the detector - even after explaining the fake knee, I get wanded as a minimum, and frequently a full 'pat down'.
