61. What happens when the installed hip wears ? What will I have to do ?

You will need another one. To be sure you got a prosthesis that wears the least as possible you need a ceramic on ceramic. But this means NO resurfacing, less possibilities to do everything !! After a resurfacing you still can get a total ceramic on ceramic and with a metal-on-metal (also in resurfacing) the wear is already very low.
