Thank you! I think success in knee, or any joint replacement is the quantity and quality of post-op physical therapy. Yes there are some bad surgeons out there, but we can decide who will work on us.
I have found that people who are unhappy with their replacement surgery simply didn't do the work required. Knee replacement is a traumatic procedure, with a lot of swelling and stiffness. But the only way to reduce that is by 3x daily exercises - the Dr will give these to you.
A little work will go am long way to a successful replacement.
