Surgery over. To recap ceramic ball smashed why is still a mystery although I believe subluxation had had a role in this. Stem went through plastic liner and was scraping against the metal cup and producing lots of metal particles. Surgeon is pleased with operation. I believe that the whole thing was replaced stem ball liners etc. Lots of cleaning out and tissue with metal particles removed. Pain levels near zero at the present time. Been in bed for whole day but about to take my first steps.
