I had my first hip replaced in 2020 and second one replaced 2 and 1/2 years later. Both are ceramic balls with a poly liner in the cup. Stryker is the manufacturer and they were implanted using the posterior approach where my dr said he can get a more accurate placement.
He did not prescribe PT. I did find good PT instruction on YouTube (Brad and Bob) to get me started. I basically got back to running six months post op on both. I am now doing 30 mile per week running, 120 miles biking and between 3 and 5 swimming.
I have no hip pain and X-rays show no wearing. I have read that the crosslinked poly will last up to seventy five years. Good enough for me since I am now 70.
