[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 237963, member: 38109"] Still doing great with it. The soft tissue is further along with healing, and it's less common to feel any discomfort, even with unusual movements. I've had incremental improvements in the range of motion. I still can't bring my knee all the way up to my chest, but I'm working on that. Over time I'm becoming less and less aware that anything was wrong with the hip. Statistically speaking I'm not totally in the clear. I recall that certain failure modes are more likely in the first three years. In addition, the risk of infection is elevated for a couple years, and antibiotics are prescribed for routine dental work. I believe at my one year followup visit they will begin monitoring serum metal ions to ensure they remain low. It's unfortunate you're in the position of needing replacement(s). At least the risk in such hip surgeries isn't high and the resulting satisfaction is usually good. Anecdotally I see a lot more problems with knees. You should add your experience to the thread if you proceed with it. [/QUOTE]
