@steveinarizona thank you . To address your post : I have had surgery at the largest university teaching hospital in the Pacific Northwest. (OHSU) Oregon Hospital State University. They are a huge health insurance conglomerate in the PNW . I have joined an independent health organization not in the OHSU network system to obtain an independent evaluation, the wait is 6-8 weeks. Also have periprosthetic particle disease from prosthetics leaching particles in and around the prosthetics in both hips extreme itching and huge issue on my immune system. As the pelvic floor compression from implant failure is a huge foot drop reference as every day experiencing numbness.
One day at a time…Right?

@hippylife Sorry. I thought OHSU was Ohio State. It sounds like you need a biocompatible implant. Most companies make them.

Do get your second opinion and then decide what to do.
