Oxford® Partial Knee Microplasty® Instrumentation Animation

[@emiliomarrello7161]

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.

what is considered "knee damage".....my cartilage is worn but my ligaments are fine...one doctor told me i needed a new knee in 5 yrs... I play hockey too along with softball and golf and pickleball and I asked him can't you just repair the one side of the knee cartilage...he said not with today's tech...then I go and see these types of videos...i talked to a friend who had partials on both knees and he is fine...i really think these doctors just like the easy quick high paying jobs instead of the shorter recuperation and back on your feet procedures like this one does

@@brianbanks3044 I play hockey with a number of docs including one of Canadas leading thoracic surgeons. None of them and I mean none had ever heard of the Oxford knee. I am lucky as one can be as I procrastinated as long as I did because in my heart I felt there had to be another way other than a full knee. Maybe as more are educated this will change. The first assessment is to determine if your knee is stable enough for the surgery. I walked bull legged for 20 years and now as I am walking straight it is tough. Muscles are complaining because they are being worked. I actually gained 1/2 inch in height.

⁠​⁠@@brianbanks3044 it depends on if you have medial wear or lateral cartilage wear. This technology is indicated for anterior medial cartilage wear, full thickness lateral cartilage, intact ACL, and a Varus (bow legged) deformity of less than 15 degrees.

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.

[@traceynorcross5666]

I was back to work in 5 weeks took it easy climbing ladders and now after 5 months is no problem

[@KSNOWAY]

How are you doing? I have mine in 4 days and am very nervous.

[@naplese]

@@KSNOWAY Doing great. I was walking without a cane in 10 days. First 4 days do nothing but ice, stretch, rest, repeat. After that, I could use a cane until I did not need it any more. Every day I could tell that things were significantly better. Now the goal will be to remove my bad walking habits from being in pain for so long. Starting PT today.

[@leesnider1484]

I would like to get this surgery...Where may I ask are you getting your surgery done ?

[@naplese]

@@leesnider1484 Dr. Robert Sedaros at the Space Coast Orthopedic Center in Merrit Island, FL. I searched him out because I was pretty sure this is what I needed rather than a total knee and he agreed.

[@AmandaAllen-c2q]

I turn 36 in a week and I have been told that I will need one on each knee in a few years.

[@Eiegod]

Who is here preparing for the procedure as a nurse?

[@dny95]

Six weeks on glad I had it

[@Buddhamaster44]

Are you really glad you did this ? ,I am 55 and might also need such a surgery.... what are your experiences..? Kind regards Erik

[@williamcouture2196]

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!

[@dny95]

Just had this done, six weeks gone still little pain but getting less each day

[@hemanthkify]

how much did it cost?

[@jdoncev]

How is your experience after about 3 months?

[@jonasmagnusson2099]

What country?

[@AnotherSWnerd]

My knees hurt so bad bad after watching this 😫 this has gotta be 1 of the most painful recoveries to experience. This looks like torture. This is some cyber punk 2077 type shit for real.

[@traceynorcross5666]

I had this procedure 7 days ago, fascinating to see what I experienced, I now know why it’s so painful but I’m glad it’s done.

[@nicholasdonvito1703]

This was very interesting but there was NO sound!

[@kmsy200]

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

[@mohammedshahed799]

Hi

[@Falu3811]

Is any dr. doing microplasty in Canada?

[@СергейМуль-о4ъ]

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

[@waelfathi5274]

What about patella

[@omstygomsty]

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

[@devinthomas4866]

no

[@jimbob4456]

No

[@mickjameson4384]

Lol no where do you live in Futurama....majority hahahahah

[@naplese]

I asked my Dr. if he used lasers to guide him he said, "I am the laser."

[@jimbob4456]

What happens to the knee cap

[@traceynorcross5666]

It’s pushed to one side, the work is carried out, then they re align the knee cap.

[@anglomandingo666]

Where can i get this done

[@naplese]

Space Coast Orthopedics Merritt Island Florida. Dr Sedaros does more of these than anyone else. I’m 5 days since surgery and should be walking with no help in a couple of days.

[@aurorabustillos3507]

Looks painful!

[@brianbanks3044]

try doing the whole knee, both sides of femur cut, tibia cut, remove ACL and 6 months of re-hab....THAT really hurts

[@anglomandingo666]

I presume the patella is replaced?

[@franciscopalacios1575]

patela is not replaced.

[@sinergia39]

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.
