I went to a different Orthopedic surgeon yesterday. He said he could put me in for BILATERAL ANTERIOR APPROACH HIP REPLACMENT, but would start off w/the first. If it goes well, continue to the second. I am 67 years old. He said he usually does bilateral on 40, 50 year olds. He says due to blood loss, cardiac event could occur during surgery or w/i 30 days post-op, with increased risk with doing the bilateral. I am 4'11, 135 lbs. He said due to my small stature, blood loss is more significant risk. He says if do only one, second would be 3 months or so later. He is younger than other Ortho I went to. He says he has done 700-800 Total hips. Is that alot? Is that considered good experience? He only does anterior approach, no posterior. Does anyone know how much experience is considered good?
