My wife just had hers replaced last September and has no idea. Dr Gray did it and the brand is Biomet.

My husband has 2 hips. His right one is unknown and his left has been reconditioned for a 2nd time. He had metal to metal but now has metal on nylon. His last metal to metal lasted 5 years but he's active and recovers from his surgeries quickly. I think there's been some lawsuits with the metal on metal so I would avoid that.
