Just being cautious isn’t a bad reason

I mean, I could be wrong, but it sounds like the brace procedure is slightly riskier than just getting the full TJS. Why wouldn’t you just get TJS if you weren’t going to be back any sooner anyway?

The success rate thus far (although this is still a very new procedure) is higher with the brace procedure... one study suggests up to a 92% success rate... the success rate for TJS is 80-90%

Here's a great blog post on the differences between the two... I don't think it's a riskier solution at all:

Maybe I'm wrong, but man I'd hope the BRaves FO and Strider could make the medical decisions better than us. Nothing I can do other than hope for competency.
