I am 36 years old and my husband and I have two sons ages 4 & 6. My THR is scheduled for 2/21/00 - due to Legg Perthes since age 6. I want to learn more about the metal on metal and its longevity as well as a downside my surgeon mentioned as a increased cander risk? Does anyone have any information. I want longevity but long term safety is important too!!!
