Has anyone had a different prosthesis installed other than what you were told was going to be used? Example: the doctor tells you before your surgery he is gonna use AMS 700 LGX then after surgery he tells you he used a AMS Ambicor instead for whatever reason.
Thanks for your replies.

No surgeon in there right mind would go from a 3 piece to a 2 piece. Not during your procedure. Great surgeons will maybe go from 18cm to 20cm to size u correctly
