    i wish i could help more. i have not experienced that.

    however, i feel instinctively that it is worth looking at the different techniques and technologies that are used in hip replacements.

    • the materials used and
    • the angle of approach and
    • the angles at which things are set
    • the sizes of the cup and ball

      are all critical.

      lastly, i believe that if your surgeries have taken place in the UK, you are entitled to ask for a second opinion.

      good luck
