Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm not looking forward to this surgery but you just know when the time has come.

If your knee will be the DePuy Rotating Platform knee, then you will

love it. My husband had both knees replaced with this type of knee and

all the PT people were amazed that he had such good flexion and

extension from the get-go. It was, and still is painful, of course, but

the natural way it lets your knee move is great. Highly recommended. --

Sally,

I just want to add that the pain my husband has now (two months out

from his second surgery) is the soft tissue around the knee. He is

pretty active so the soreness is natural from the healing. He is very

glad he had the surgery done. As you said, he knew it was time and he

is looking forward to an active life ahead without the pain he had

before. You will be glad, too.

That is the knee I got in August 2006....I love it! Lots of work in PT but after about 5 - 6 weeks, really noticed a big improvement and just keeps getting better and better!

I had a tkr on Jan 15 and had this knee installed. I can't compare to

any other surgeries as this was my first. I am doing just fine. I

walk 2.5 miles every day. I can squat to work in the garden. Very

happy with the knee.

Hi

The LCS knee is the most extensively studied knee replacement in the

market. It is perhaps the most successful knee design in the history

of knee replacement sugery.

To add on to this knee though, do ask for Computer Navigation is

possible. This reduces the blood loss and enhances surgical accuracy

tremendously.
