Make sure to thoroughly research your surgeon. I had a hip replacement with supposedly a top surgeon and he managed to damage 2 major nerves in my leg. I knew there was something wrong as soon as I came out of the anesthetic as my entire leg was totally numb. PT, nerve test, etc and all they kept telling me was that it would heal. We moved so no longer in their area.
Over 10 years later and I still have pain. The damaged nerve has affected my knee and it is painful and stiff most of the time. I had a posterior replacement and now find out that an anterior would have been better. Too late now.
