@hausterlitz I think the secret lies in having a good orthopedic surgeon. I saw a couple bad ones, which made the good one a clear choice. Find an orthopedic surgeon who does other bad orthopedic surgeon revision work. That will tell you all you need to know! I had a celebrity orthopedic surgeon who got mad at me and wouldn’t do my surgery after it was all set up and approved and it really crushed me. Three years later, I had a new orthopedic surgeon who I found out did all of the guys revision surgeries. A friend of mine was going to the celebrity surgeon and I pulled up a lawsuit against him for negligence. Check around and you will find that a good surgeon has lots of great success stories and no revisions.(or at least revisions due to things that are not within his control.). It’s all in a good surgeon.
