no clue on the manufacturer, who performed the initial implant to give me a guess on metallurgy. Could be a chrome cobalt on chrome cobalt stem to head or stainless steel on stainless steel? dissimilar metals in contact with each other causes galvanic corrosion. Don't let them trick you into thinking metals are similar enough. Unless theyre the exact same metallurgy there will be galvanic corrosion in my experience with galvanic corrosion. Examined it myself and it showed no wear on the head and absolute wear on the PEEK. We're probably talking a 10 pound dog that sits on the couch with better weight dispersion due to quadruped.

Talking it over it's personal opinion to give a hip implant vs. ostectomy. Usually heavier dogs go better with a hip implant and lighter dogs with an FHO. This vet. seems to favor the FHO approach. I got a cat with the FHO and he seems to get around fine but likes to lean against me on that side to relax.

Apprehensions I've heard from these guys are squeaking and fracture. Neither of these have any clue how rediheal works. One loves the stuff and must think it's magic, the other must think it's a snake oil(I also need an understanding of how it works). Read the literature on borosilicate bioglass and it explains how it increases healing but might as well be greek as far as how to explain it in simple terms or what mechanism causes it as far as I`m concerned. I plan on digging here to further understand it when I get a chance. Hoping I can develop a mechanism and a way to explain it in layman terms.
