Default New hip replacement

My brother had his hip just done 3 months ago and is enjoying normal life now. His wife is doctor and they did a lot of research. Here is his comments.
Old hip surges were cut from behind posterior and take much longer to recover. New approach is anterior cut from the front. More delicate procedure but no complications or restraints of movement. Old docs still do posterior, younger docs do anterior. Hard to find a good anterior trained doc. My incision is 3 1/2 inches for a 1 foot piece of hardware. 👍
