It was done by a well known orthopedic surgeon with very good reviews and years of joint surgeries. I live in Nebraska. Mayo Clinic in Rochester would be the ultimate place.

It sounds like you did have a wonderful result. To have 'full function' is amazing - I've never heard anyone say that was their result. Maybe part of the difference was all of my tendons/ligaments/ rotator cuff were damaged or torn completely from my fall.
Do you know what brand of prosthesis was used?

It is amazing that you didn't have PT for any of your replacements. I definitely needed it for my bilateral knee replacements.
Glad you are doing so well.

If I am reading the operative notes correctly, the brand name may have been Stryket.
I know the surgeon used a special CT planning station. That was not covered by my BCBS insurance.
