I just want to say "Thank you."

Did they say if you would need a full or partial replacement? I can get by with a partial, they say, but I'm worried about only half fixing it. My biggest problem is my age. I'm only 36, the replacements don't last forever, so they want me to wait as long as I can before we do it. Some days the arthritis pain is so bad I would rather just cut it off with my old pocket knife.

This sounds just like my story. I am 41. He told me that we would do a partial replacement. He said it is best to leave all the good stuff he can.

Yea. It sucks. lol Dr. Davoli fixed my son's knee and it was messed up bad. That is why I thought I would give him a shot at mine. I hope it helps.

good luck on recovery - I am still putting my knee off as I am getting around a lot better than I was.

Check out the mako surgery. It's robotic and I have seen good reports from it. They say it's more precise and that helps they heeling and longevity of the replacement. That's what I'm leaning towards.
