He would like to know if this is new technology because his progress was far slower And he doesn’t understand how bone can repair that fast. Was it glued in place, etc.?
I don't want to give the wrong impression. I'm very happy with my progress. Is it perfect, no, is it at full strength no. Is it functional yes? I am expecting it to get stronger and better. I'm not lifting heavy, I'm using leg press machines rather than doing full squats with weight. I did mostly biking to come back. Strange, but my doctor doesn't recommend biking, but I did it anyway and got great results. My doctor didn't recommend skiing but I felt better every time after I skied.
My hip is a straight forward Zimmer brand hip, not glued. It is a bone growth insert. I did start one footed balance and resistance training the week after surgery. I was strong going in and I think my muscles responded sooner due to this. I am also light, so the hip didn't have to support lots of weight.
