OK, I know that most people say "your doctor will help you decide the type of device". My doctor told me about a couple of things I had not seen online until he mentioned it & now I found one of those. Ceramic hip replacement noise. It is interesting that I have seen many forums & no one mentioned this problem. Also he said it is not all that common, but sometimes the metal on metal replacement will stick.
I am planning surgery in April 08, and trying to gather information to make an informed decision that will affect the rest of my life. When I was 9 I was struck by a car & my left hip was crushed. Several surgeries and over 2 year recoup, left me in good shape until about 5 years ago. My pain has steadily increased & I am to the point now it is a quality of life issue.
Please let me know if anyone has had had or heard of the above two problems. Also why do some doctors do & MRI & some do not.
Any help is appreciated.
Good Day.
