Results: A maximum of (n=43) patients had a mobility scale of 7 at 30 days. (n=46) had a mobility scale of 6 at 60 days. Bimodal peaks were seen at 90 days with (n=27) had a mobility scale of 4 and (n=28) had a mobility score of 6 at 90 days. The median mobility score was 7(7-9), 6(6-7), 4.5(4-6) at 30, 60 and 90 day postoperatively.
