An uncemented hip effectively has a fracture up against the prosthesis. It does take weeks for the bone to grow into and coalesce onto the prosthesis. Sorry. That's the benefit of the cemented option- the bony repair is complete by end of procedure so you're only allowing for soft tissue healing. The good news is that surgeons tend to offer uncemented to physiologically younger patients, so your surgeon was complimenting you!

LOL!!! From what I have heard, cemented hip replacements tend to last around10 years while uncemented last from 20 - 25. I sure do not want to be going through this again in 10 years!
