Best of luck and smooth sailing.

Had close friends done the same procedure and he was up and walking in the hallway ( with assistance ) the very next day.

Good for you, Landon. I'm looking at the same procedure in April. Let us know how it goes. Everyone tells me they don't know why they waited so long to do it. Part of me is nervous about doing it, but I know life will be better after it's done.

Good wishes Nephew! Keep us posted on your recovery! 460cc?

The ball in my new shoulder is titanium, as is the appliance in my left knee. Not sure if it is cast or forged.

      Typhoon Titanium

      I have a couple of the titanium rod and screws in my body. They won't bother me until the weather changed.
      Especially before the thunder storm.... man they will be sore and itchy.

          Good luck LB!!! Wishing you the best!

          Knowing him, might be an OX bone graft if needed, but it'll be a simple straight forward surgery.

          BTW, I'm guessing the titanium parts will be precision CNC milled, not forged nor cast.

            I wish the hell I was your PT my friend. I see you are having the anterior approach. The least invasive procedure with less precautions. If you are a fast track patient you may be getting up the same day as your surgery. My patients all do so well with it, and I certainly hope you do.

              Good luck! And, let's hope your Doc doesn't "practice" medicine on you - hope he's got great execution! (Always hated that term "practice", when there's nothing on the line.)
