Prothesis size?

Curious what size prothesis you all got?  Mine is a 50mm head with a 56mm cup (both hips)
Male, 6'1'' (185cm) age mid 30's, active/very active, surfing and watersports.

Should add - had previous surgery to correct femoro-acetabular impingement (fai) that left me with reduced femoral neck diameter which may be why I got a smaller prothesis size.

How do they size these things?
