Hoping someone can help me its a bit of a story which starts in 2010 when I had my left hip replaced ( I am right handed!) I played some of my best golf but in March 1013 I broke the implant right on the angle and to be ambulanced from the 6th tee.. the implant was replaced and all was well till the beginning of May I broke the implant again, this time towards the end of the prong that fits down the thigh bone.. I have had it replaced again but I dont want to go through this again in 3 years time.. My specialist has never seen a broken implant and now he has seen two in the same leg.. He also says he is not going to tell me to stop playing golf because the only reason he can keep doing the op is because of my fitness, muscle tone and bone density which is down to playing golf.. I wouldnt mind if I hit the ball a thousand miles with loads of torque or something, neither do I throw myself onto the left hand side violently.. My questions are- has anyone heard of this happening before?? plus could it be my flattish swing causing the trouble?? Thanks for sticking with it..
