Hi everyone. Here's a new question.
In everyone's experience, do surgeon's appreciate their patients being overly educated about their surgery?
In other words - will my OS like or dislike when I start asking him which type of TTT I'm getting, his recovery "protocol', opening or closing wedge osteotomy, icing machines, NWB, PWB, PT schedule, plaster or immobilizer, - all the stuff I've learned about thru this website.
My OS has always been good about answering my questions, but I've never had soooo many as I do now. Arthoscopic surgery was pretty straightforward. Now with either a TTT or HTO looming, I want to ask a TON of questions when I go in for my pre-surgery appointment. However, I don't want to piss the guy off either.
What has been YOUR experience. Thanks in advance.
