Femoral Neck Fracture!

Thanks Pat. That is exactly what I meant. One of the things which I've noticed, the more I read and research, is the disparity between surgeons and their recovery instructions and time frames. McMinn has a different recovery protocol than most U.S. Docs. And there are different viewpoints on FNF, it's frequency and risk. If this site were not here with its links to other surgeons and patient's recovery experience, we would only have one viewpoint. As a life long student, I always ask, "Why? I'm not a Doc, but I do understand the human body. That is why I pose these questions when I bump up against different ideologies. Everyone should follow the protocol they are given from their Doc but it is good to know these differences exist and what the thoughts are behind them even when choosing a surgeon.

I reported what a successful, professional PT told me who has experience with both THR & BHR. I'm sure there are varying opinions and I don't think I'm the only curious BHR patient who is interested in knowing why.

I have been with Dr Brooks twice and PT (ouside of the hospital stay) was not included in either of my recoveries.  I asked and was told that PT for a good recovery was not needed or set up by his office - just keep doing the exercises provided

Those exercises plus the extra I've done on my own, have greatly helped my recovery!
