Well, I have to ask how long did the last knee last. And did you do something to cause the second surgery. Just curious, I myself am scheduled soon. Steve Williams. S/G

Got two. One the year after Katrina (2006) and one after Reynolds points race a couple years later. Both good. I do have a few pointer if anyone is interested.

Had both done two.
One was done the old way and the other with the Makoplasty robot.
The recovery time the old way took way longer than when they used the robot for the other knee.

I also suggest going to a doctor that deals with sports injuries for your surgery, especially if they support a professional sports team. My surgeon was a former surgeon for both an NFL and MLB team.

A key for recovery is follow and do as much physical therapy as you can. The final motion and flexibility will be determined by the physical therapy.

Well the surgery went good, and I got to go home early. Went to my first PT and was going good but on Monday started having lots of pain, now they think I might have blood clouts. Off to the Hospital for tests. Happy holiday to all Tom
