Toulson , I came away with the word ‘ genius .’ I was very impressed with his very positive attitude , his knowledge , his willingness and ability to explain to myself exactly what was going to happen .”
Dr . Toulson stated : “ My preferred technique for replacing a hip is going through the front of the hip , the anterior supine hip replacement . With this technique we can get to the hip without damaging any muscle at all , and if we don ’ t damage any muscle … patients can recover quicker than ever before .”
Norman continued , “ After the surgery I was walking around basically the next day . I was very , very happy with the outcome and very happy with the little time it took to recuperate . In my opinion , my life was back to normal in two weeks and I was thrilled with that .”
