    THR Anterior or posterior?

    @Blackbirdie hello. I agree with above comments. Let the surgeon decide. My surgeon decided posterior was best for me with my build and the way my hips are situated. I was kinda bummed bc it seems so many people are having anterior. But I do trust him 100%.

    2020 February Valentines - Are you having hip surgery in February?

    Hi all. I think I'm doing this correctly to be added. I'm having a L THR posterior on 2/26. I am glad to have found this forum. Seems like everyone I know or talk to has had the anterior approach which I am not a candidate for. So I have no idea what to expect.
