My dad has had both hips replaced a number of years ago and no issues at all....he's going on 91 now. The PT afterwards was the hardest part of the replacements.
A good friend of mine had what he called a hip resurfacing about 4 years ago and he tells me it's doing great.
My family Dr told me a few months ago that I will need one, but if possible, put it off if I'm able, as long as possible due to my age (62) because they wear out and if a second is needed, it's a bit more problematic. Due to the pain and the limits my bad hip puts on me, I'm ready to get it done myself.
