best advice i can offer - having lived with and assisted post-op - find a surgeon who does the surgery WITHOUT cutting muscles, ligaments, tendons! and post-op make sure all parties understand the rehab plan so that you will know if staff is following same rather than pushing too much or too little!

blueash's advice to do a pre-surgical rehab is great advice, too - as long as no muscle, etc is gonna be severed.

the procedure that pushes/shoves muscle, etc out of the way facilitates a much better recovery and rehab.

best of luck to your hubs with the surgery - and to you with the post-op care!
