Anyone else had hemiarthoplasty?

Has anyone on this site has had same op. as me? My half hip replacement has been problematic and I’ve now been told I will need a revision but I keep being told different things about how long this op. is meant to last. Has anyone on this site had the same surgery and what were you told?

It's what my surgeon told me to expect, I have heard similar time estimates from others too.

I would hope for a lot more than 15 years. I'm sure avoiding running or other impact sports will help extend the new joint's life. The technology is improving all the time so joints put in in 2017 should last a lot longer than those they were putting in 15 years ago.
