My hip was put in 22 years ago and is titanium. I have never had trouble with the hip and have done everything I wanted to do within reason during those years. Now I’m feeling that my old replacement is becoming loose and I will need a revision in the near future.
I found that for about a year or so after your replacement you feel less confident When walking on certain uneven surfaces and about falling. After that you really can forget about having a bionic hip. It’s the best thing I ever did for my body. I encourage you to get one if you need one and to enjoy the rest of your life.
