There are basically two surgery types..today, yesterday, 20 years ago
Anterior method, and posterior method. That’s it.
I had the posterior method, much more invasive, much bigger cut, more nerves cut.
The anterior method will result in quicker healing, much smaller incision.
Many of the old wives tales regards what you can and can’t do, post surgery, I have found aren’t true. Like crossing legs, etc, etc, etc.
My issue is I waited way too long. I actually had part of my hip fused to my back with scar tissue. My advice, get it done as soon as possible. And ask for the anterior method, if you are a candidate for it.
