Hi Everyone
Has anyone on here ever had any dealings with metal on metal replacement hips?
I would like to hear from other people that is going through the same sort of things that I am going through.

Thats good to know, I have had a revision op earlier this year, but unfortuately they broke a bone trying to get the old one out, so I'm still having treatment I may have to have another op.
At least i can hope all will be well in the end.
