@palmsprings59 Yes, it was bone on bone. I had put it off for some time. The Rochester clinic is wonderful and no more expensive than anywhere else, maybe even less. My mom and I both had the direct anterior method with Dr. Taunton and Dr. Sierra did my dad's hip.

Mine was also bone on bone. I had two surgeries—one to remove hardware inserted to stabilize a simple femur fracture, the second to replace the hip. The doctor used a posterior insertion which seemed to help my mobility right away. I was walking in the hospital the day of surgery and cleared to drive after 10 days.
