I would suggest that you check out other resurfacing options; some of them may employ ceramic materials rather than all metal. There are several manufacturers of these kits; however, many orthopedic surgeons work with only one company so they may not be the best source of information about the choices available.

As you noted, the stray ions from metal-on-metal may be much ado about nothing; however, if you can eliminate a potential risk without a corresponding downside, it would seem to be prudent to investigate it. I’ll be interested to know what you find out. Good luck.
