[QUOTE="M77Fan, post: 2954139, member: 115996"] Glad to hear what you say. Don't know what part of "out west" you are in, but in this little backwater Wyoming town, posterior is the only option. I traveled for mine. But that is why I brought this up. I want to pass along that there are better ways, and encourage people to talk with their doctors about options and expected outcomes. The way I see it, you are interviewing the doctor for the job of working on you. Lateral, I can see might also require less restriction if they don't have to cut through as much tissue. Glad you weighed in! I guess one good thing is that there are a lot more of us seasoned citizens, who are not retirement home residents, who now need replacements, so medical attitudes are probably changing. Ageism is a thing. Now it is not just little old ladies who fell and broke a hip who are seeking replacements. I know a lot of people now getting joint replacements, and I do my best to help them prepare - mentally and logistically - when I can. [/QUOTE]
