Hi Cindy
I think since you have such a special hip problem, it is much better to be conservative and get out of pain. The surgeons at the conference are very conservative and always were concerned about giving the patient the best outcome possible.
A ceramic THR is not a bad solution. THR patients, according to the conference doctors, are just as active as resurfacing patients. The main goal is to get out of pain and back to an active life. Also with you being younger, you won't have to worry about the metal ion issue if you are going to have more children.
We all want resurfacings since it is bone sparing, but THRs are not always a bad solution when they use the large ball devices and they are placed by experienced surgeons.
It is best to be conservative. You don't want to face a revision surgery for years and years.
I wish you the very best. We will want to hear how your are doing. Please keep in touch with us. We don't mind if you are a THR patient. We are still concerned about you.
Good Luck.
Pat
