Total Knee Repair Revision: A Success Story

@ezas123 I knew a woman who also had problems after a knee replacement. She went to numerous doctors before one diagnosed the problem, the size of the replacement was too large! A revision was done and she was much better after that.
I think the most important thing when having a knee replacement is getting the absolute best doctor that you can find. There are many orthopedic surgeons who do knee replacements but you want one who really looks at the individual, not a "cookie cutter" type of surgeon. My second knee replacement was a custom-made knee so thankfully there was no chance of that being a problem, and the doctor was amazing.

Exactly I thought I was going to the best did my homework checked reviews …..,but in the end did not work out for me … I live in small relatively small area so I thought find dr in bigger area I was wrong …. The dr in my small area was the one to fix first dr mistake I am so grateful to him …..but I hear you you need to research your dr look up reviews good and bad ….. looking back on my old dr bad reviews he acted exactly the way people said blamed me for not working hard enough…unfortunately I only focused on positive and ignored the negative ….I was so positive I would be one of those people that would be driving and back to doing things in 3 weeks …..unfortunately I was so wrong took I think 5 months to drive ….well anyway a year later I was driving in 2 weeks lol so I am thrilled with my outlook now …,, so yes a warning to others it’s ok to be positive but don’t overlook dr negative feedback because you never know until all said and done if it is successful ..,,,
