@snoony2 I had an anterior total hip replacement in November, 2019. I had osteoarthritis in that hip that was getting worse over time. I was up and walking with a PT within a few hours after waking up from surgery. I haven’t had any pain or problems with the replaced hip. It has taken me some time to regain strength in the surgical hip but I worked at it and I can definitely tell the difference. So, as you requested, I have only positive feedback on my anterior hip replacement.

What made you decide to get a hip replacement and why anterior instead of posterior?

In anterior they don’t cut the muscles. It’s a far less invasive type of surgery
