Hello Christie, Are they planning to replace the other metal-on-metal implant as well?
Did they place a polymer liner in the acetabular cup as well?
How long have you had the metal implants?
I ask because my metal levels did not begin to fall until after both hips were revised. Then the levels fell to normal in under a year, and most of the problems gradually faded.
