Just make sure you have PT and definitely do your exercises at home. I made the mistake of not doing home exercises and now don’t have a 120 bend. Pick a doctor that does robotic surgery.

@dsmit8 I would make sure to investigate robotic surgery. Especially if you have osteoporosis.

@dsmit8
I can’t pick a surgeon or the hospital here in Australia as I’m what they call a public patient not private health. Private Health here for full knee surgery means your Private Health Insurance must be top tier to have full knee replacement surgery with your choice of surgeon and as I can’t work as of the bad knee I have no choice but to be a public patient without any choices on surgeons and hospitals. As a public patient you are a signed the surgeon.
