I’m 79 years old and am so grateful for the success of this procedure.
Yes, I can straighten my leg completely and in no pain at all.
Slow doing stairs but that might be my age!!! I can walk miles. The only problem was an unexpected infection after 12 years of no problems.
That was another operation and pt and taking an antibiotic for the rest of my life but that’s another story. Doc has no idea how this happened and it was very traumatic

I was happy to see the first part of your story.

The second part- infection, surgery… yikes. What happened? I was worried about getting a steroid shot during my procedure as there are studies indicating infections to the new knee and the subsequent problems. Could this been a part of your problem? Sounds like it happened later?
