[QUOTE="vedauvoo, post: 2622174, member: 47024"] Agree. I am a radiologist with a musculoskeletal fellowship. I have worked with several dozen orthopedic surgeons over the years. Some are outright lousy, most are adequate and conscientious, and a few are brilliant. I needed knee replacement done on both knees 13 years ago. I talked to several physical therapists in our locale and asked which surgeons seem to get the fewest complications and the best rehab results. That search led me to one surgeon. Although not widely known in the area, he was; Fellowship trained in hip and knee replacement - check. 10 years experienced after training in his chosen subspecialty - check. And most important to me, all of the PT's that rehab'd his patients had seen a very low rate of complication and a very high rate of success - double check. His patients got back to their chosen activities faster, had less pain, less swelling post op, and seemed most satisfied with their result. So he replaced both of my knees. I have been 100% happy with the results. I have since hunted sheep, elk, and deer, and done nearly everything I else I did before getting them replaced. So if you can find a brilliant, shoulder fellowship trained, 10 years experienced shoulder surgeon who has impressed the local physical therapists, you should get a solid range of options that might keep you drawing your beloved Hoyt a few years more. Keep us posted. Best of Luck!! [/QUOTE]
