    THR Tan’s Anterior THR recovery

    Tan - every persons experience is different. Recovery from my second THR done only 24 days ago has gone much more smoothly than my other one done 4 years ago.

    THR 2 weeks out from 2nd THR

    I have to post about the amazing success of my anterior approach, x-ray guided THR. I can't say enough about my surgeon, Dr. Brian Lewis and his team of surgeons at Duke Orthopedics.

    THR Augmented Reality Guided THR at NEBH

    I too had augmented reality guided THR on August 29th, at Duke Regional Hospital in North Carolina. It is my second THR, the other hip having been done by the same doctor and in similar fashion in 2018. I do not actually know the changes to procedure made since my last hip was done, but my...
