When I got mine in 2003. I had 4 options. Ti on Ti, 2 different plastics, and the ceramic. Was told that the ceramic would not take a big impact. With the Ti on Ti. They didn't know what happening to the Ti particles as it wears. Do they sit there around the joint, or move through out the body. The old style plastic is good for 10~15 years before replacement. And the new style plastic, which should be good for 15+ years. Depending on how rough you are on it. The new style plastic just came out when I got my hip replaced. So I went with the new style plastic. I was number 89 to get it, and to under go a new surgical procedure. I got a 4" cut in the front, and a 2" cut in the rear. Was in the hospital for 3 days, and back to work in 5 weeks.
