Not a problem... 😂 I broke femur about a month ago; recovery is not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice is to find the best surgeon you can because it does make a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was to the point where there was bone on bone but it hadn't done the worst in breaking through or anything. So it was the usual fairly small incision, go in and scrape out the goo set the titanium rod into the femur then the self installing hip thingy that expands. The video on it was pretty nifty. I've gotten the impression from people who have had knees done that knees are more complicated because they move more different ways 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And shoulders even more so - consider all the ways that they can move. I’m looking at a shoulder replacement in about a year or so. My whole right side will be metal - shoulder, femur, ankle. Concerning recruitment- I hope everyone is able to field the numbers that they want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
