Knee Replacement

[deuce lover]

Good going Karl. I had partial replacements done on both knees. The ice machine was the key factor for me for relief. Here they provide you with a Hospital bed for a month and the ice machine for 3-5 days then Velcro Ice packs and yes along with pain killers if necessary.They provide the in home therapist 3 times a week for the first 3 weeks. Since I had the partial replacements,the surgeon said that when the nylon parts wear they can be replaced on an out patient basis.Here are pics of the parts.The top one is of course the full replacement. All The Best !! Sheldon

Karl, Glad to see you are on the mend. Our lives are greatly improved through the miracle of plastics (and stainless).

My knee was made by Vintique... should I be worried?
