Finally Getting a New Hip!

BloodSpite · 03-07-2011, 11:54 AM

I've two. my first one was put in while I was in Hereford thanks to a small issue of finding that the law of gravity was still in affect after a training jump that went really bad. They gave me the good ol metal on metal variation.

When I got discharged the VA decided they didn't like the British work and replaced it with a crosslinked style.

The biggest difference between the two I've found is the weight. The poly is much more like a real hip, whereas I always felt off kilter with the metal.

To each their own I reckon
