Bad news Al

I thought the older one's where ceramic,I'm sure Bob Brown told me that's what he had 10 years ago!..
I think the one I've got has a ceramic swivel but the fitting is titanium steel,not sure but I see the surgeon in 3 weeks so I'll ask him!...
Fark getting a reversal that pain can wait until this one wears out...:)

Al had a Bakelite one fitted. It's the way of the future.

I wish I did have a Bakelite one probably last longer!..

if ya slow down throwing the leg over mate it will last a bit longer lol

might have to look at something like that!...:(

mate,I'll always surf.Once it's in your head about sharks it's all over!...:)
I googled that story,was it Peter Overton that was on 9 that had the story?If so they where just saying there is a new way of operating but they had the titanium steel fitting, I think they are just trialing it so far.They say you'll be up walking unassisted in 2 days,YEAH RIGHT,I'll believe that when I see it,I'm still struggling after 3 weeks!...

it's also going to be a smaller cut(keyhole)and they hold back Tendons and Muscles to save cutting through them.The ceramic one's have been around for years Bob has one but looks like he may have to get his changed as the ceramic slowly leaks a toxin into your body apparently,I'll find out more off him when I see him,he went in for a knee last week..:(
Here's the one I got mate!...

Bloody hell I didn't think of that I thought it was self lubricating,I'll wait a while and see if I can book in to get one,haha!...

hopefully not procured from Bunnings via China containing asbestos!
