While I had my knees replaced (hips will come eventually....) it is important to get a surgeon who specializes in revision surgeries. You mentioned your first surgeon was 62 and is now consulting.
It's not a rule and it's not ageism, but I like surgeons in their late 30s, early 40s with a good pedigree and a good number of surgeries performed. Younger surgeons just seem to be on top of their game as far as recent/new techniques.
