Recommend the anterior surgical approach
I had bilateral hip replacement, both hips replaced at same time (actually one on Tuesday and the other on Thursday that same week). Like many have said, I feel like I should have done it sooner. If you choose to proceed with surgery, I definitely recommend the less invasive anterior approach. Less pain and faster recovery. I also recommend intense physical rehab during the couple weeks immediately following surgery. I stayed at an acute rehab center for 9 days following my bilateral hip surgery and greatly value the daily therapy and care. Best wishes for a successful outcome!
