Totally amazed at the skill of surgeons who do miracles like this every day to ordinary, and not-so-ordinary, people.“espn” said:Saban, with new hip, back at work: 'Rolling now'
Saban took Tuesday off to recover.
“I did some rehab at home (on Tuesday) and threw away the walker after one day," Saban told ESPN. "I've got a cane, and I'm rolling now."
..."I was home for six hours (Tuesday), and I was ready to jump off a bridge. Doing nothing was like torture. I don't know how people do it."

He has a drive like few others I've ever seen or heard of.Dear Lord, the man must be superhuman or something! Goodness!
Yep. My mom had both her hips replaced and the surgeons are amazing. I knew Coach would be back quickly since the re-hab people had her up and walking on her new hip within a half day or so after surgery.Totally amazed at the skill of surgeons who do miracles like this every day to ordinary, and not-so-ordinary, people.
Sorry but after hearing he was back in his office this morning I could help but think that CNS probably insisted on being awake during the entire procedure so he could evaluate the technique of the robot.“Coach Saban underwent successful robotic assisted right hip replacement surgery this afternoon with our hip specialist, Dr. Benton Emblom and the team at Andrews Sports Medicine,” Dr. Cain said in a Monday afternoon statement. “Coach is resting comfortably and we anticipate a full recovery. He should be able to return to work in the very near future, and we’ll have him back out on the golf course, with hopefully a few more yards off the tee, as soon as possible.”

That's the exact same walker my 96 year old Mom has. Coach Saban has good taste!
I did too, two weeks ago, also by Emblom with the Mako robot. I am the CNS test subject. It is awesome, I'm already better than before.I've had it, at Andrews...
Pre-robot, four years ago. I heavily considered a local, but there was one supplement I take which the docs couldn't ascertain the amount of blood thinning it might cause and you can't inject into the spine with that possible problem. Just as well, because I did have to have a unit of blood and that table looks like a torture device anyway...I did too, two weeks ago, also by Emblom with the Mako robot. I am the CNS test subject.

CNS is talking a big game; he probably does feel great but a lot just happened inside his leg. Per the video tweet today he has the walker in the office and is using an umbrella (ha) for support. I'm sure he will stick to the plan and let his rehab follow the proper steps. I don't care how stubborn you are, when they detach your femur and your ability to walk properly is at stake you do as you're told.
Earle, which approach did your surgeon use?
Is that Jeff Allen working with him?
I hope so, and am so glad it's getting attention. The way doctors take years or decades to adopt new techniques can be a crying shame. There are plenty who still use the posterior techique (horribly cuts your glutes) and most use no robot (removes more bone).With apologies to those doctors who do these miracles and those who have had the robot surgery prior to CNS, is it possible that the surgery will now be known as "The Nick Saban" a la "Tommy John" ?
