What about patella

Is any dr. doing microplasty in Canada?

On 24th I had total knee replacement. Still is swollen and hard to walk around .it's crazy when I went to OR I saw all those tools lol I was going to pass out . I just prayed God do the rest not them

I’m expecting to get it done! Nothing like looking at it before hand! Either a partial or full depending what they fine! Pretty scary to look at! I am a nurse- always good to know what happens. Looks much worse when the tissue is involved- no wonder it hurts as people claim! I keep saying- do I really want to do this! I know it will only get worse though!

Who is here preparing for the procedure as a nurse?

I am going in for this procedure in 2 days. I had a whole knee 8 years ago and this is totally different. I expect the recovery to be much faster. Last time I could walk with no assistance in 17 days. We have come a long way since my first scope in 1995.

I presume the patella is replaced?

Where can i get this done

I was told when was 27 that one day I would require a full knee replacement. I decided at that time that I was going to avoid this because once the whole knee is done you are more or less done for. I lasted until recently age 69 and by a stroke of good fortune was introduced to one of only 2 docs who perform this surgery in Canada. I have read other posts discussing pain. There is no pain from the actual replacement, the knee is ready to go right after surgery, in fact, we are not discharged unless we can prove to physio that we can walk and climb stairs. The inflammation and pain comes from the soft tissue being cut and disturbed along with the alignment of ligaments and tendons. For the last 2o years, I had been walking bowed, and now my legs are straight, this new unusual motion is what is causing pains until my body is trained back to normal. Right after surgery, my doc gave me the green light that I can return to playing hockey. Yup we crazy Canadians who play until we are gone. If you qualify, which is a big one, as you must have a structural base, and no knee damage and this is available where you reside, do not hesitate, it is well worth it.

Its horrible and terrifying to see how they destroy a knee, with drills, pieces of metal, etc. With all the money that there is and that progress in non-invasive treatments that solve osteoarthritis, cartilage regeneration, etc. is not the priority. Why? There are regenerative treatments for cartilage, bones, whatever you want, because there are very good scientists and researchers in medicine. These good medical solutions do not reach the citizens. What there is is car mechanic workshop medicine.

Old school

This was very interesting but there was NO sound!

Бедное колено, сколько его разбирали и собирали и снова разбирали.... прямо ракета из стражей галактики

What happens to the knee cap

Don't the majority of procedures involve the use of a robotic guidance system these days. Apparently leads to much better outcomes
