Never had one woman patient ever asked me what the hip or knee replacement was actually made of. Like, what are the metals? And I've had plenty of men ask me this question, which I always found astonishing because I'm thinking, what are you, like a metallurgist or something? What do you care?
What does it matter to you what alloys are used to make this implant?
