Dr. Nourbash explained both procedures (the only one who did by the way) and why he uses the Posterolateral Approach and why he prefers Did I mention he is a complete joy to talk with, he explains everything thoroughly and makes you feel so comfortable and never rushed. It was an easy decision to go with Dr. Nourbash and the Posterolateral Approach. I had outpatient surgery, followed all of Dr. Norbashes recommendations, restrictions and did the required PT work. I was walking without a walker or cane within 14 days. The old pain is gone, my recovery has been amazingly quick.
