Honestly knowing what I know about total hip replacements, having an idea what kind of patient Mr. Emerson must have been, I am sure when his physical therapist push him hard, and Mr. Emerson did the recomended PT, and more. Mr. Emerson in this short u-tube show no signs of have a THR that recently. GREAT JOB!
Back in 1970 I worked in Hollywood Presbterian Hospital near Sunset & Vermont in Los Angeles. HPH was one of the first hospitals in the U.S.A. doing total hips. I actually got to see several of the THR surgical procedures from start to finish, and it was one of those procedured said made me say wow.
I am sure today these THR procedure are routine, not like 45 years ago where patient from all over the U.S.A. came to HPH for their THR.
