He was walking 1000 steps the same evening as surgery (which was late in the day) and put down the walker in two days. The outpatient therapy was 3 weeks and he has 125 degrees mobility..

Actually results can be very comparable. The recovery stats you mention are almost identical to mine. I think the most important number you mention is "nine years ago".

Sorry, but it's apples-and-oranges to compare surgeries from then and now, regardless of the surgeon.
