@palmsprings59 Mine was a direct anterior THR, but not all doctors do that method as a special operating table is needed. (Mine was done at Mayo in Rochester.) The stem is titanium. The ball is ceramic. The cup is titanium with a polyethylene liner. No glue, but one screw was placed in the cup.

Thank you for your reply. Were you bone on bone by chance? My husband has no bone or little bone left. Would love to go to Rochester. Great Drs.
