I find it interesting that a trained surgeon for jiffy is not allowed to share that knowledge with other surgeons.
Also in regards to your research on outcomes- it is too new to find long-term study results.

I had a very tough time with my midline approach with a top-rated surgeon, from a highly rated nationally hospital due to many variables. I ended up having to have an MUA just to get the darn joint to work. As Steve knows, I am reluctant and gun-shy in having my other knee done now- though this weather sure has it reminding me that I can't postpone forever.

On that note, my neighbor had a Jiffy in January. She was up and at 'em almost immediately. She didn't have a need for post-op pain medication other than some extra-strength Tylenol. She only did physical therapy for less than a month post-op. This part is amazing to me as I recall the grueling physical therapy that I maintained for months, 3x/week!

I did not care for the approach of the Ortho group that she had (9 surgeons all recently trained in the Jiffy method). Although very personable, her surgeon had put on a mini-seminar in our area that I attended- so much was left out.
She didn't receive any pre-op packets of teaching. There was very little written instructions ahead (I had a binder with very detailed infection-prevention details, along with so much important info for such a big surgery), nor info after the surgery. No info about how to take medications, what to look out for, how to prevent complications... It was a very streamlined approach to say the least. Her significant other didn't even realize that she had had major surgery. He said "Oh, she only had a Jiffy..."! Although she did very well initially, she still was surprised how tired she was and why she wasn't bouncing back to normal activities a few months later.

There is a Jiffy Facebook group page that I suspect someone from Jiffy runs. You don't dare bring up any concerns on it as it will be deleted or you will be removed from the group.

My knee will be 2 years old soon. I give it a C+. When you have a replacement it will never be like a real knee, and it does limit you in some activities. At least it doesn't wake me up anymore in the middle of the night when the bones go bone on bone with every little movement!

Best wishes!
