I thought CLL is one of the hardest surgeries so only few surgeons do this. I heard this surgery is hard and takes lots of hours like 4+hr, demanding tough physical and mental abilities from surgeons.
Speaking of age, i remember Dr.Paley is around +70 yo. He's obviously best surgeon but wouldn't you have any worries if you do it with him?
It's quite simply not a hard surgery. That obviously doesn't mean a random guy off the street could do it, but inserting a nail is bread and butter for any orthopedic surgeon. Even butchers like Sarin can usually insert a nail without messing it up, the problems come AFTER surgery with guys like that.
Think about it, an ortho will often have trauma cases involving broken bones that did not have a clean break, most often in accidents. That's a lot harder than making a break yourself with the bone still perfectly aligned.
It's not as simple as something like getting a tooth removed or getting botox, but for anyone trained in orthopedics it's not difficult when compared to other surgeries within that field.
