After knee replacement surgery
Joint Replacements | Last Active: Dec 1 9:12am | Replies (623)Comment receiving replies
My husband's golf buddy, who is in his 50, had his left knee replaced in November 2017. His employer has very good health insurance. He was able to go to the best surgeon who is good in robotic knee surgery! He had no problems with his TKR by the robot and only a few months he was able to play 2 round of 18 holes of golf in one day! He kept saying he wish he had it done sooner because he had endured 5 years of knee pain whenever he played golf. I don't think Medicare will pay for robotic knee replacement?

@evw100 from what I understand, robotic is just that the surgeon is guided by a robotic type of assistance. The knee does not differ, nor does the surgery really, it just helps in the placement, etc. so increases the success rate. I am sure insurance and Medicare pay for it. They paid for my custom made knee which must have been more costly.
