Hip revision: How can I get the best recovery?

I had my hip resurfacing in 2006 with no problems until they found the cyst in my right hip and femur compromised due to the metals.
Two differing opinions on how to proceed.
One keep the head and make incision in the front of the leg and attach prosthesis.
Second - replace everything.
Scar and nerve damage was extensive in 2006 but was able to keep playing sports snd competitive tennis.
Now that I am 67 I realize I will be putting that behind me and will just be grateful to not be in pain, get the metals out and play with the grandchildren.

Hello @cynthiaarment and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like you may have went the route of attaching a prosthesis. Is that right?
