Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 My normal hip replacement lasted 8 years both times. and that was without doing extreme sports. had my 4th hip replacmeent that side 6 months ago, and its the best one I have ever had. -- Re: extreme sports I can offer several things i was told. One ortho told me that a replacement was like a bank account. you put the money in but then you decide how fast you want to take it out. another cited Bo . A normal hip replacment last 20 or 30 years. He said Bo played major league baseball and his lasted 3. keep in mind revision surgery is decreasingly effective. you run out of bone to attached the metal to. ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
