Knee Replacement
by Treischel
|
My wife, Karen, underwent a full knee replacement on November 11, 2015. Everything went well. This type of operation is amazing. They cut a long incision, retract the muscle,nerves, and ligaments, then cut and shape the bones to take stainless steel caps with nylon replacing cartilage. The image above shows a diagram of it. It is painful, with several weeks of recovery, but hopefully, it will be worth it.
