I am due to have total hip replacement.
In my letter from Hospital it is indicated that it would be Corail stem plus Pinnacle cup.
Is it Metal-on-Metal? Is it safe? According to a report placed here it is not recommended so I am a bit confused now...
I am being asked questions about my ability to perform various activities after a shoulder hemioarthroplasty. 2 weeks ago I fractured my clavicle so this is clearly affecting my ability to do these things in a way that is unrelated to the shoulder surgery. Please advise on the form filling
