bone implants make me so viscerally uncomfortable, like thinking about it makes me shiver. I know hip replacement surgery is pretty common and complications are rare, but the thought of having chrome pegged into a structurally weakened little hole in my leg spooks me – and that’s the safest spot of an implant because it’s just surrounded by muscle and tissue that’ll continue to hold it all together, not a lot of stress on it. Imagining the stresses at the end of the leg in an instance like this… yikes, man.
