Custom-made joint based on your anatomy rather than off the shelf joint replacement

Ok thank you. And only Brigham’s &women’s does this.
I’m sorry there were so many responses I’m getting things confused . I can’t remember if it was you who told me Brigham+women’s or somebody else

@mwatts91757 As @jeffkirc responded, the Conformis is custom made for you.

The surgeon I went to is Dr. Wolfgang Fitz. I really liked him. I experienced more pain than typical for about six weeks so he was seeing me every two weeks. The pain suddenly lifted so then we just scheduled an appointment for a year after the surgery. I will be two years out in October, and very happy with my knee. I fell 9 days ago and fractured part of my femur in that leg. I am now hurting all the way down so I hope that’s referred pain, not damage to my knee.
