That is absolutely unbelievable. Totally inspirational to many athletes world wide who suffer from cartilage loss/arthritis but one day hope to regain full sports activity!

[@stoneclinic]

Glad you're feeling the inspiration! Richard went on to run across the ENTIRE continental US just 11 months after his second surgery. You can learn more about his 3,200 mile trek here www.stoneclinic.com/story/ultra-marathon-runner-after-bilateral-partial-knee-replacement

I had a partial knee replacement using robotic assist at the end of August 2012 at age 59. I was skiing 3 months later and still ski, at age 72 and walk without limitation. I did curtail my basketball playing (previously 3 times a week pick-up), but have occasionally played since without ill effect.

[@stoneclinic]

Awesome! We're so glad to hear that you're happy with the results of your surgery. Wishing you many more years of successful outcome.

[@laylapeak8480]

YES, could you know what type of prosthesis they used, brand?, if it is fixed or mobile? and if it is cemented or without cement? It would be of great help to me, regards. This man is an inspiration. . .

[@stoneclinic]

You can find all the info on Richard's partial knee replacement here www.stoneclinic.com/partial-knee-replacement. His partial knee replacement was performed with robotic surgery by Dr. Stone using the Stryker MAKO Robotic-Arm Assisted Orthopaedic System. Currently, partial knee replacements are not available with uncemented parts; however, our total knee replacement is cementless.

For more inspiration, Richard is coming to the end of his cross country run (running 40+ miles a day since April) and documenting it on his Facebook facebook.com/richard.donovan.3110.

Dr. Stone will you perform a simultaneous bilteral PKR? Both my L & R medial condial heads are diagnosed with OA. R knee had a meniscus tear repair in June 2021 and I was cycling a little in July and August but I was off the bike by September. I'm an avid cyclist and climber and now I'm almost bed ridden. No cycling in 13 months ... I'm going out of my mind with the lack of exercise. I'm a 61 year old male and an East Bay resident. What insurance do you take?

[@stoneclinic]

Hello, Jeff. Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear about the loss of activities you're experiencing. We've helped many patients needing bilateral replacement. Like Richard in this video, the surgeries are performed at different times to allow recovery and strengthening of one joint at a time. Regarding insurance, The Stone Clinic is an out-of-network provider, which means we are not contracted with any insurance companies and, therefore, do not bill insurance directly for our services. Our patients make payment-in-full for our services at the time they are received, then submit their own claims directly to their insurance companies for reimbursement based on their out-of-network benefits. You can find out more about our billing, including monthly payment options, here www.stoneclinic.com/financial-considerations

Which TKR knee model does Dr Stone use for runners?

[@stoneclinic]

Head here for the full details on how the TKR implant is used without the use of bone cement www.stoneclinic.com/knee-replacement. The name of the implant is MAKO Triathalon Total Knee Implant

[@EpicRidecyclist]

@@stoneclinic Thanks that is what I hear most of the runners are using Stryker Triathlon Cementless. Mako is just the name of the robot that can do the procedure.

[@paulvoas3328]

What about total knee replacements?

[@stoneclinic]

Yes. In most cases, our patients can return to full sports after our robotic knee replacements (with a specialized implant) as long as they are diligent in partnering with our rehab team.

@@stoneclinic I have articular cartilage damage, pain. Otherwise knee is working fine. Soccer is my love and I have been playing on Goal recreationally. Can I get back to that? IF not I'm just going to run my knees down to total knee replacement and retire from life

[@stoneclinic]

Hello, @@maksimavrukin1197. Providing a couple of links here: first is specifically about articular cartilage repair www.stoneclinic.com/articular-cartilage. If repaired early enough, it is possible to avoid a knee replacement. To learn more about our knee program and the right approach to extend the life of a healthy knee, I suggest you download our Saving My Knees Guide available here www.stoneclinic.com/saving-my-knees

The sad part is I bet for every one time this works out there's a bunch of people with lesser results.

[@stoneclinic]

By using robotics to assist in the placement and planning of the implant, results are much more reliably reproduced to help patients achieve positive outcomes. You can learn more about the advantages of robotic-assisted knee replacement here www.stoneclinic.com/robotic-joint-center
