  • lol I was expecting a video about Metalosis Maligna.

  • Had a total r-hip 1/15/04 Biomet M2a Metal on Metal again 8/18/05 because the cup came loose and rotated 90 dgrees toward my ingrowing,,Biomet made a custom prothesis and during the operation they could not make the prothesis fit so they put in a used 70mm cup, I bet Biomet gave Mary Luo Retton a better deal....
