Hi Sue
I agree, the key to a successful recovery is to go into the operation in the best physical condition one can muster. I've just started researching ortho surgeons. I'm likely going to have the procedure done in Vancouver, BC. I'm finding it a bit difficult to find the needed info to determine how much experience surgeons have specifically with THR's. Good point about checking their record regarding post-surgical infections. Although, I'm thinking that may be even more difficult to find than their level of experience.

Ross - Ask - the surgeon or his PA or assistant. Any good doc will gladly answer. Another way to find the best surgeon is to find a good PT and ask which are the best docs, with the best results. When I fired my original ortho, that is how I found the (excellent) replacement doc who has been my go-to for 10 years now. When I needed to switch because my hand surgeon moved away, he helped me find an equally excellent new guy.
