Hello Trisha...I had my left leg TKR Jan 2019 and had some issues with swelling and a band-like feeling for several months post surgery which finally resolved after 4-5 months. I was hesitant to have a second surgery with the same surgeon and procedure on my right knee so I did some research and found a seminar on robotic knee surgery. I spoke with the surgeon and was impressed with his credentials as well as the procedure. His name is Andrew J. Wasser M.D. in Long Beach. I had an MRI of my knee prior to the procedure and had my robotic right knee surgery at Long Beach Memorial 9/19. Medicare and AARP/UHC paid for procedure in full. The incision is shorter than the other knee. I am very happy as I have great ROM and no problems post surgery three years later.
Trish,
