@ellerbracke I too never realized that wrong size could happen as frequently as it apparently does, and then require a revision. I chose to get a custom made knee simply because I read that the recovery was quicker and easier, and of course more satisfactory since it was made to match your original knee and not just taken off a shelf. I'm glad now that I went that route and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to have a TKR.

I recently had a TKR using Mako Arthraplasty which is a very precise procedure, very pleased with results. Read about it on you tube.

Hello,

Wow, that’s exciting information! My new surgeon will be performing a revision in a few months and I reside in Arizona. Do you know if The Conformist is available to folks on Medicare, or is it a custom purchase? I will research as much information as possible on this and of course ask my surgeon if it is an option. He will be putting in a somewhat smaller and looser prosthesis….
