Question for Hipcycler on ... hips
Got this question from a guy I work with. He's a power lifter with an arthritic hip. We got to talking about Floyd's replacement and he was genuinely interested in what kinda longevity we're talking about?
I've heard/read that the hip replacement is good for 10 years before needing more work. But we're talking about a guy - Floyd for instance - who's putting a dent in that while training one year for the TdF.
So... what's the longevity on it?
