Stryker squeaking hip replacement

In the end, I left it up to my surgeon who was open to my input. Our agreement was that he would use whatever gave me the most stable joint and he used metal on polyethylene and so far i am happy with it.

Let me add that the improved polyethylene is a relatively new improvement so metal on metal and ceramic on ceramic may have still been on top when this video was originally posted.

I decided against ceramic even before this discovery, because of reports of squeaks and the reports of earlier ceramic implants shattering into shards. I had decided on metal on metal as my first choice until i found out about the latest advances in polyethylene manufacturing.

For those who think that Metal on Metal and Ceramic on Ceramic last longer and wear less than Metal on Plastic... That's the same information i discovered at first.

After discussion with my surgeon, I decided his 30+ years of experience trumped my time googling and a little more research revealed hat recent improvements to the polyethylene acetabular make it the most durable when teamed with metal.

um the squeakiness is odd but your outfits very distracting...lol cute!

Hahaha mikemuelleraz good for you! I think it takes courage for someone to put themselves 'out there'. And you have a GREAT sense of humour!

YOU are an ASS. Who made you the fashion police? Who gives a crap what the guy is wearing?? Like come on people!

Message for OJJDvictum. Based on my clinical experience (putting prosthetic hips into patients), this phenomenon is not uncommon for prosthetic hips with ceramic bearing surfaces (ie a ceramic ball or socket). Chances are that your hips use metal bearing surfaces, hence the reason yours don't squeak.

Are you a clown? Just wondering because of your polka dots? Maybe you are a runner, because of your outfit. My theory is that you thought you were Superman after your surgery and did too much too soon (like running). I have two artificial hips and treat them like they are my last. I am very gentle with them and don't run or do anything to impact them. Maybe you are partially to blame for your squeeky hip.

nice..goodluck on your recovery..hope you'll be better over the period of time...

wow...i thought extraneous works will be limited
