| - | My deal was several busted ribs and shattered scapula. Joel's preference was, if possible, to avoid the O.R. since shoulders (and a few other joints) are high range-of-motion integrated systems. Surgery is last resort. So he lectured me on care while the injury resolved. No motion for several weeks with frequent imaging to monitor progress (or problems). \\ | + | My deal was several busted ribs and shattered scapula.

| - | Result: no surgery. Lots of P.T. (I still do some of it) and full recovery. For me, it's a big deal for an Orthopedic surgeon to resist surgery and encourage other modalities. That is not common in my experience. As conformation, LG just had Hoekema do his hip replacement. He had a similar experience, when he mentioned to Joel that his hip seemed to be better: the surgery was paused to allow possible resolution. But then LG had problems and Joel got him in fast-track. (For some reason LG wants to paddle a canoe with his legs now, but that's ok.) \\ | + | Result: no surgery. Lots of P.T. (I still do some of it) and full recovery.
