I used Ortiguerra at Mayo clinic Jacksonville. He gave me a ceramic knee— no nickel.

I have been in search of someone with first hand experience with ceramic TKR. I am so happy to learn that a ceramic implant can be successful. I have read about Dr Ortiguerra in Jacksonville. After seeing your comment I am finally feeling hopeful about my TKR, I live in Florida.

Do you recall the "brand" of implant?
Did you have robotic surgery, what brand?
How was your recovery from surgery?
I thank you in advance for any information you can share!
