[QUOTE="stevetheupsguy, post: 741092, member: 9662"] It's a replacement, so I assume it's pretty invasive. As for the amount of hip, I believe they use whatever they can use, though, if the person is very active they tend to have a 10 year limit (don't think there's a warranty, either), at which time they need to go in again and try to salvage as much bone as possible. The problems I see with this is nothing of this nature lasts long enough and by the time all the replacements are done you could be a whole foot shorter. [/QUOTE]
