Has anyone had a TKR using the Kinematic method?

I have only read his biography and am expecting a call from the nurse. I have my list of questions. I didn't want to make an appointment because this would be the 3rd doctor I have seen and it's a little embarrassing. Thank you so much for the article, I read it and it's a little technical but seems to say the same things I have read. I bookmarked it for further research. The first doctor does conventional TKR, 2nd one minimally invasive, and I believe the 3rd is the one I need to see. I already have the hip on that side higher than the other and straightening the knee seems like it would make it worse. I was hoping to find someone that had this done but it seems like they're pretty rare. It sounds good to me, providing he does have all the equipment for a good outcome, which I believe he does. I have been putting the off for a couple of years and it seems like it has suddenly gone from 0-60 in a couple of weeks. Well, not really zero but acceleration of pain and symptoms have been more sudden. I am terrified of so many things involving the surgery.

In your situation it sounds like getting multiple opinions is very wise. Like you, I have known for a while that my knee will need replacement, but until pain or loss of function push me, it's a waiting game. I have already had my hips done almost 20 years ago and a variety of other ortho surgery but the knees seem like they are tougher.
