The hip socket will be
replaced with a metal
cup with a plastic liner.
A new ball will be

stem to your thigh
bone.

forward to many years of pain free
activity

determine if you need to donate your
own blood.
Based on the results, you may be
instructed to take an iron supplement or
donate your own blood.
