FYI for anyone else who may have been told by their doctor to have a hip replaced. Please research the "Birmingham Hip". Much larger surface area, less bone removed to replace the Ball & Socket. More stability, projected much longer "service life". Had my left hip replaced 5/2/07, after rehab I was able to referee my first youth soccer match the third week of August, First college soccer match third week of September. Have a full basketball schedule. If the rest of my joints felt like my BHR I would think I was 21 again.
