"One need only look at the incredible variation in body types to understand this. When you add the unseen – existing damage, bone issues, etc, it makes it even more imperative that the surgeon choose the correct procedure for each patient – and have the humility to refer onward any person whose needs are outside their skill set."

THRs are complex surgeries and I, for one, would only want one done by an experienced surgeon using the same approach. I understand the responder's comment about sometimes needing a different approach but I would not want a surgeon who claims to do multiple approaches. If, for example, Anterior and Superpath wouldn't work for someone, I would prefer to find a surgeon who uses Posterior as her chosen method and uses it all the time. I want muscle memory to assist my surgeon.
