Wow Tim. What an amazing, quick recovery to a high level. You are certainly a beast to begin with, and I cannot imagine finishing a marathon when your hip blew up. How important was your P.T. in your rehab, and were they a sports P.T.?
I had heard the anterior approach can allow a faster return to activity, but agree with OB. In my case, I have chronic glut medius/minimus tendinitis. The posterior approach directly visualizes those structures so a repair can be done, if needed. Anterior approach cannot see those structures. My surgeries are coming up in 3 and 5 months.
OB, that’s a great story too. Thank you both for sharing.
Cheers,
Gary
