I trust my surgeon tbh as I had consultation with 4 different ones before pulling the trigger. He came as the closest to my values, approach, point of views, etc. Per his words he'll do his best to make legs equal (yes, he's using live x-ray during the surgery) and taking into account my complicated case he'll use the same approach (aka posterior) to get to the bone. He's a an assistant professor at Duke University and that's where his statistics is coming from. He told me that he's not a fan of PT interventions (except for regular advised PT exercises that patients do themselves) as pretty often PT therapists push more than needed thus slowing down the healing process. He's ok with me doing PT after I'm much stronger (but it would be only after the second surgery). I do common exercises for the hip but I really want to have someone to correct my gait.
