Having a positive history with the surgeon is a major plus.
When I have my knees done I will be using my shoulder replacement doc. Total Right shoulder replacement last October and I was back on my bike in 3 days, 1 longer than doc said I could be, but that was of my own doing to being overly cautious. He is also the only knee guy who insisted that my tibia's be cut and straightened before he installs the new knees. Rickets as a infant has left me with a life of bowed legs and the worn, bone on bone joints, as a result.
Same with my prostate cancer when it most likely recurs. Prostate doc also said 2 days after last surgery for riding and I did 11 miles with the catheter still in place in 2 days. I belong to the exclusive "Foley Catheter-PEE as you Pedal Club."
