IF (big if) the femoral component were at correct angle right now I might try to see if it would reseat, if it's at an incorrect angle right now, I would revise. The unknown right now is, with cement will bone reseat itself into the component? The other unknown, with cement being present how well would it bond? Cement is usually not the cause of these situations. Your neck could be dying off. Possible.
A femoral neck fracture is EXTREMELY PAINFUL, much worse than you are experiencing now, IMHO if your doctor is thinking this is a possibility, I would take his advice and revise ASAP, again, my opinion.
The good news is, THRs have improved immensely and you will be getting a large ball MOM which I believe is what your doc is recommending to you. Recovery is like a hip resurfacing and the final results are usually very good.
Just all my opinion.

I saw the Dr today, the xrays clearly show the femoral cap has moved, he suspects the bone has withdrawn under the cap either due to a glue issue or blood flow to the area. He states this happens in about 4% of the cases, lucky me. The socket look to be good and is set at a good angle within the limits of 35-45 degrees. He suggest replacing the femoral unit with a Smith and Nephew Anthology device which should correct the problem. He also said there is a remote chance If I do no load bearing for an unspecified amount of time It may repair itself but he gave it a less than 10 % chance. With the femoral cap obviously moved is there any real need for another opinion? The pain is getting worse by the day and there is a risk of fracture. Any imput or information is appreciated. also Smith and Nephew wants to look at the device to determine the root cause.
