[@KneeReplacementTherapists]

That's great to hear! It sounds like you're making remarkable progress just three months after surgery. Being able to run three miles on the treadmill without any problems is a significant achievement. Here's to continued success in your recovery journey!

14 days out injured in 1970 was wondering about ligaments no cartilage for years surgery in 1970 they did best they could, pictures might help.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate the feedback and will have to incorporate some pictures for future videos. Best wishes with your rehab and recovery!

Thanks! I just had a TKR 6 weeks ago and will be asking my doc about the ACL/PCL. I'm not a fan of throwing good parts out but have to admit I'm not missing them. My knee feels stronger and more stable than before the TKR.

[@KneeReplacementTherapists]

Thanks for watching and commenting, glad you are doing well... The best way to maintain stability through your new knee is consistent exercise routine and maintaining strength of your quadriceps and all leg muscles.

Some diagrams would help a great deal.

You know your stuff...wish you had some pics...

[@KneeReplacementTherapists]

Thank you, I have to be careful with different pictures due to copyright concerns, but I probably could have done some whiteboard drawings or something similar.

Do we keep our mpfl ??

[@KneeReplacementTherapists]

Yes, typically the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is not removed during knee replacement surgery.
