Had both of mine done 1 year apart in NJ and the best advice I can offer is to hang in there as long as you can because they don't last a lifetime. 7 years now and one of them is starting to talk to me .

Use Dr. J. Dean Cole at Fracture Care Center at Florida Hospital South in Orlando. In January 2913, he did a hip revision (replaced original hip replacement from 1979). He also added 2 inches to his leg due to bone loss so now he is "even".
