Why should there be such variation in the designs of implants and types of approaches that cause such a variation in rehabilitation?
All hip and knee replacements arent the same and there are advantages and disadvantages for each of them. Your surgeon will be happy to discuss his choice of implant for you, explaining why he feels that this particular implant has benefits over others. Similarly, all approaches to the hip and knee arent the same. Each of them have different advantages and disadvantages and each of them have different post-operative protocols to allow you to mobilise safely after the operation. Again your surgeon will describe the approach he uses and will be able to give reasons as to why that is the most appropriate for you.
