One of my dear friends just had a hip replacement surgery here in Houston. They went in from the front, instead of the side and she was up the next day. They said she would not even need rehab. Interesting new type of surgery apparently.
My surgery was at one of the big Boston hospitals.The surgeon was using some sort of new gadget that's hooked up to a computer that calculates,during the surgery,the exact angles,etc for the implants.It was said that this computer makes much more precise calculations which result in faster healing.I went straight home on the third day and had outpatient PT after that.
