several factors are involved in the replacement. one is a skilled surgeon, mine was dr. duke, who does not cut muscle, tendons, or ligaments, i am not overweight, age, i was 60 when i had the surgery, i trained hard for the surgery, strength, worked hard after in rehab at home, walker for one day, cane for two weeks, golfing from forward tees at 6 weeks, full swings at 12 weeks, now, one year later, ran and walked a mini marathon, do a workout on the elliptical than is second to none. very happy. you are only going to get out of the replacement what you want. i want all that i can get out of that.
