Hello @sailaway. I would like to invite @popolopo, @stephanieann, @axels, @sro50 @jonpaulcobaltpo, and @janneg who have either done some research on metal on metal replacements or had them themselves and may be able to share some of their experiences as well.

@sailaway, you mentioned your husband got this type of replacement because he was told it would be good for staying active. Up until he started experiencing pain, was he able to stay active? If he gets the revision with one part being ceramic, have you discussed staying athletic and active?

Thank you for referring others to share knowledge and experience. We no longer go downhill skiing or other "sports", but he exercises on elliptical regularly, does yardwork and shoveling. And thanks for the question regarding how revision may impact his activities.
