Doc said that if he made it that far, he is a "healer".
Last fall my younger brother had a replacement at 60. For young guys like that, they used a different parts. They hammer it in, more intrusive to the patient, longer to heal, but better in the long run. I think it has riveted linings instead of bonded ;^) easier to do maintenance down the road.
