Slew, for your hip surgery, what procedure did you have done, anterior or posterior?
After consulting with my Brother-in-law MD, he recommended a surgeon that only did the newer anterior procedure 5 years ago.
Had the surgery on Thursday and on Saturday we went to a chili-fest and I was walking around w/o a walker or cane. I have read others who had the posterior procedure and their recovery was longer and more painful.
