    Standard Shoulder Replacement TSR surgeons in Seattle?

    Thanks for your reply. These four surgeons are not in my area, not even in my state.they are in a big city the next state over, a 3.5 hour air plane trip away from interior Alaska. I met one surgeon last week who told me he had done over 500 of these procedures. I assume he meant tkrs, as that...

    TKR 4 weeks post op ruminations

    Just had my second TKR on March 16, 2023. (First one was July, 2016.) To my amazement i read in the operative report that the surgeon said i had “excellent” bone quality so they were sble to give me a cementless pressfit. The first one was cemented. So i am wondering: is there a difference in...

    Picking out a second surgeon.

    Thank you so much for your thoughts and for your reply! For what it’s worth, I did ask her if I was putting her in an awkward position since her partner did the first TKR. She responded and said no they are both so busy they do not know what each other is doing. I also asked her when her...
