Thanks all. Saw the original surgeon yesterday and it was a good visit. He was sympathetic to my issues and wants to make it right. he did state that this was the first mechanical failure he has seen with the DePuy Actis Stem. He does about 400 hips a year. Unfortunately he no longer does revisions (hasn't for about 3 years), but he expedited an appointment to a colleague in his new practice that he has been referring patients to over the 3 year period he hasn't done revisions. he cited 3 revision surgeons that he has used and via multiple forums i researched all were highly regarded so getting more comfortable as this goes. he also validated the belief that the hip was not infected (as did my family doctor who i had seen earlier in the day). he also indicated that he felt waiting to Feb 2020 to get surgery wouldn't be the best and he thought i should be able to get surgery quicker with the doc he referred me to. I have the appoint with him next Wed so we'll see. I appreciate all of the well wishes and prayers over this ordeal. I will keep you posted as i learn more. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
