Andrews and company can't be the expert on every Ortho surgery. Maybe they are doing their due diligence and the team in Houston is the experts on hips.

Texas Orthopedic Hospital is in Houston. Might be going there.

This was my take. Glad Dr Caine isn’t letting ego get in the way and finding best option for Tua.

Yep. I live in Ft Walton Beach and went to the Anrews Clinic in Gulf Breeze (P'cola) about five years ago to get my left hip joint evaluated (hip dislocation playing FB back in 1971). Five years ago, Andrews didn't do hip joint replacements (not sports related), but they knew the best surgeon in the area to refer me to.

Sidenote: The minimally invasive (quick recovery) method used to replace Saban's hip was new then and had a high risk of complications. So I took the strong advice to not risk it, though the recovery and rehab with the old method is a bitch and takes about a year to get back to normal.
